White Button Mushrooms

Store unwashed in their original packaging or a paper bag in the refrigerator. Avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture and can cause them to spoil quickly.

Clean mushrooms by gently brushing off dirt with a soft brush or damp paper towel. Avoid washing them until just before use, as they absorb water.

For best flavor, sauté them until they release their liquid and begin to brown.

Cut them into uniform pieces for even cooking.

Overcrowding the pan when sautéing, which leads to steaming instead of browning.

Washing mushrooms too far in advance, making them soggy.

Storing them in airtight plastic containers, which promotes spoilage.
