Chef's Tips
- Do not salt until the end!
- Smaller size leads to more of the maillard reaction which means more caramelization
- Start with a hot pan. If you start with a cold pan…
- No matter how much oil you add, the mushrooms will stick to the bottom and burn.
- Liquid will seep out of mushrooms before you can create a crust and mushrooms will be chewy.
- Once mushrooms are added evenly in the pan, do not touch them - let them caramelize
- Add more salt than you think you need - this brings out the flavor!
- Don’t crowd pan - Use larger pan or batch cook the mushrooms.
