Well I had a fresher pack of mushrooms which I used some of yesterday. I'm not sure I want mushrooms again just yet so will probably end up binning these old ones as they'll no doubt be properly off by the time I want them. Can I freeze fresh mushrooms in future? And can they be defrosted in the microwave, or just let them thaw in the fridge?
you usually peel / trim them if they are getting on, keeping them in fridge in paper bag too, soaks up their sweating.
sautee older ones, and if you really can't bare to eat them, I suspect that would freeze ok.
But that is the EU lot and we will be out soon and what do they know anyway.Four foods you should avoid reheating
4. Mushrooms
Mushrooms have proteins which can easily be destroyed by enzymes and microorganisms, according to the European Food Information Council.
If they are not stored properly, mushrooms can deteriorate quickly and cause an upset stomach after reheating.
However, says the council: "If they are stored in a fridge and for not more 24 hours, it is in general no problem to reheat mushrooms again at recommended temperatures of 70 C."
Yes, really? Or are you hoping I'll get sick?![]()
