So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing.

In the absence of legitimate suggestions, commiseration is welcome too 😉

    Not only should you wash them, you should also start a sautee with a couple tablespoons of water, then add fats later.

      If you add the fat first, the mushrooms are going to release so much liquid that you just have to boil that off anyway.

        I sweat the mushrooms in the microwave before I sauté. They release a ton of water, which I use on another dish’s preparation (rice, pasta, kale, etc).

          Did the information upthread ruin that method for you? Hopefully that water isn’t all pesticidey and poopy… (I have no insight on that)

        Thank you. I had not seen that before. Love his stuff, and it makes so much sense.
