Whole Button Mushrooms
I wondered what would happen if I dried small button
mushrooms. First, I removed the stems, and then peeled if
necessary. I placed them on the racks
and let them dry slowly, at 115 degrees for two days. I also put some in the FoodPantrie and let
them dry for five days.
They turned out just fine.
I love your blog thank you. I love that you are trying stuff out and sharing it, it makes your information so approachable. I have a question about this mushroom post. your last sentence -"use them any way..." Do you mean i can slice and sautee the dried mushrooms just like fresh? Or do you mean i need to rehydrate and then..... Thanks agains!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you remove the stems? Why not save that part for drying also? Cut the dry end off and dehydrate along with the caps.
ReplyDeleteNormally, I dry the stems along with the sliced mushrooms.But this was an experiment and I was worried about too much thickness that might make thorough dehydrating difficult. In this case, I happened to use the stems for supper, but there would be no problem in dehydrating them as well.
