How to clean mushrooms
It’s important when you are cooking with mushrooms that you clean them prior to using them. To clean mushrooms you will want to wipe each mushroom with a damp paper towel, if dirt is stuck on, use a soft pastry brush. Give them a light rinse by running them under cold water and then pat dry with a paper towel. Be sure that you do not soak them because they will absorb all the water and not brown while cooking.
