Easy Way to Hollow Out Mushrooms

When cleaning out the mushroom with the melon baller you can scrape out a little more of the inside of the mushroom to make more room for the stuffing. These scrapings can be added to your stuffing if desired. The list below provides some additional tips for when you are working with mushrooms.

• Slice mushrooms, place in a pan, add a bottle of Worcestershire Sauce and a stick of butter. Place pan on grill or on stove. Allow mushroom mixture to heat/saute while cooking your main meal. This is a simple mushroom sauce that tastes great on steak and other favorite meats.
• Mushrooms can be sautéed, broiled, fried, or eaten raw. Wild mushrooms require longer cooking times than store bought mushrooms.
• Aluminum pans tend to turn mushrooms black, so avoid using this type of pan when cooking them.
• When picking wild mushrooms, research the type of mushroom you intend to consume. 1-2% of mushroom species are poisonous.
