Avoid soaking them; a quick rinse suffices. Excess water can make them
soggy. Pat dry to prevent moisture retention.
Cook mushrooms in batches to prevent steaming. Crowding leads to uneven
cooking and inhibits browning, affecting flavor and texture.
Moisture hinders browning. Pat mushrooms dry before cooking to ensure a
golden-brown crust and intensified flavor.
Start with medium heat to release moisture gradually. High heat can make
mushrooms rubbery instead of tender.
Mushrooms benefit from seasoning. Add salt and spices early to enhance
their flavor profile and depth.
Avoid mushy mushrooms by cooking them until tender but still firm.
Overcooking can lead to loss of texture and flavor.
