I love mushrooms and find that even after I freeze them, they still taste better than canned mushrooms. Have you ever frozen something you were not sure would freeze well?
Hope you keep that stock if not you should. It would be good for a soup or gravy. Mmmm love me some mushroom soup or gravy... Nice video I'M hungry now I gotta go get a snack!!!
Thank you, thank you Jenny! I got about five pounds (yes that much!) mushrooms from our local food drop. I don’t care for them but my boys sure do. Since I only cook them for my boys, I didn’t know how or even if I could freeze them. Your video explained so well. Thank you so much! Oh!, I found your channel by searching freezing mushrooms. Popped right up!
Great video. Your video makes a lot of sense as far as cooking before freezing. I would fry floured morel mushrooms and freeze what I don't eat in a vacuum bag and they were just as tender and good 6 months later when I took them out of the freezer and refry them. But if they are floured, DO NOT thaw. Just put them in a sizzling hot skillet with butter. I don't think you want to dehydrate button mushrooms either because when they soak in water they are tough as shoe leather. So all those are good for is the broth from them.
Hmm...i never thought about this. I will definitely try it. I always buy fresh ones and then I get sad when they get bad so quick. Thanks for sharing! New fan here!
You dont need to do all that I buy a2.5 kilo tray of mushrooms , put straight into freezer , take 3 _4 out put in microwave for 40 - 55 seconds slize and fry , just like fresh . I have done this for 30 odd years
@@jelomaxjoiner oh my God people on the internet are so diluted. This isn't my opinion. It's straight up fact dude you can Google it. people on the internet need to learn to Google before arguing not everybody just throws their opinion around like an idiot. some people know facts
@@jelomaxjoiner also you are rude. Telling the lady that is helping people do it the right way so that the mushroom stay fresher, that " you don't have to do all" . No you don't but that's the best way fuking douche rocket
According to Harvard medical school and web MD , "However, microwave cooking is actually one of the least likely forms of cooking to damage nutrients." www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/ask-the-doctor-microwaves-impact-on-food#:~:text=However%2C%20microwave%20cooking%20is%20actually,microwave%20cooking%20takes%20less%20time
All the other methods say fry em on high fire a couple minutes and thencool em off or cook them in water and then throw em in icewater, going to try this.
According to Bon Appetit: But if they need to be kept away from water, then what's the best way to clean mushrooms? The emphasis is on "clean"-which isn't the same as "wash." We recommend starting with a quick inspection before you get anywhere near the faucet. If you’re buying boxed mushrooms from the grocery store, you’re most likely going to get a squeaky clean box. After all, most mushrooms are grown in indoor farms, not harvested from the wild. Unless you see any glaring bits of dirt, you’re ready to get cooking.
Tittlesnhizmouf thank you for asking. I have heard that with mushrooms, all you should do is brush the dirt off. This is because mushrooms are porous and will soak up water unlike other veggies with a skin. However, considering how many veggies have been contaminated with bacteria over the last several years, I don’t think a rinse will hurt. I am cooking them before I freeze them so this should kill any nasty critters that decided to tried to hitch hike into my house though. Have a great day and stay safe! 💕

Wow, thanks!
Thank you Jenny! I just bought a bunch of mushrooms. I will try this.
You're so welcome!

Awesome! Thanks for watching! And thanks for letting me know my video came up so easy for you.

Where do you find morels? Just kidding. I know you never tell where they are unless you find them in a store. 😉

Thanks for watching. It is a sad day when the mushrooms go bad!

The microwave completely kills nutrients in food. One of the worst things ever invented
@@jennlemmelin443 rubbish I have been cooking in a microwave for 40 years with no detriment, you are deluded

Thank you. I'll try this. I cook with rice a lot, so will use mushroom juice the next time I prepare rice.
Save some for me! 😉 Thanks for watching.
What a handy video. I didn't know you could do that. I may well try that some time! x
I bet they smelled beautiful while they were cooking!
Oh yes, just the mushroom smell. I don’t season them at all until I use them in a recipe.
Thank you for this video!!
Principalies you’re very welcome! Thank you for your support. I hope you found this video helpful! 💕

Let me know how it comes out for you. Thanks for watching.
Thanks I have 2 huge tubs of mushrooms I got at Costco and I was wondering what to do with them
You will be so happy you did this! Thank you for your support!
You didn’t wash them there is dirt on them 😮

How long can you freeze them for
I would say probably 6 months, but they never stay around that long at my house. Thank you for stopping by!
Did you wash them before sauteing?
