It's Basically Impossible To Overcook Mushrooms
Рет қаралды 551,833
Күн бұрынWe've all ended up with soggy, mushy veggies or leathery tough meat after a cooking snafu before. But there's a weird reason that mushrooms really can't get overcooked, no matter how hard you try. Just uhh, make sure not to burn them.

Not only did fungi and animals diverge later than plants and animals, but growing fungi also has a key similarity to raising animals in that you have to feed them. Fungi behave kind of like a cross between plants and animals. You have to manage moisture levels and sometimes sunlight, and you have to wait for the fungus to spread its mycelia like roots throughout the substrate, but the substrate is more like animal feed than plant fertilizer. The fungi will in fact break down the substrate into forms plants can use. So if you grow your own vegetables, consider adding fungi like wine caps to your garden.

I once forgot to switch the stove. More precisely, switched it to very low instead of completely shutting (it was a gas stove). After a few hours I entered the kitchen and felt mushrooms still produce a distinct smell. They were very dehydrated and not very soft, but still decent. One might say they were heat-dried rather than over cooked though.

My (by far) favorite way to cook mushrooms is by slicing fairly thick, adding evenly to a pan and just barely covering them with water, then cook on high heat until all the water has boiled and evaporated off, then add some oil/butter and fry the mushrooms until golden brown. Cooking the mushrooms like this will leave a great fond in the pan as well which can be deglazed immediately with some light soy sauce or just a splash of water, or used as the base for a richer sauce or whatever you want really.

I generally first dry the mushrooms by stir frying them with nothing on the stove. Then when they get dry or a little brown burned, there is a nice strong mushroom smell coming out. Then I'll add oil and keep stir frying them, then add soil sauce and sugar, or just salt and some herbs. It always turns out so nice.
@frattman Жыл бұрын
btw, the best way to saute mushrooms to the point where they develop a slight brown crisp to them is to put the pan on high heat, add a little oil and salt and keep pouring a bit of water in the pan so that the oil doesn't smoke and nothing burns. it takes a while but it really is worth it, and they aren't overly greasy.

What is also relevant with cooking plants is that they get their structure from water pressure inside their cell walls*. They are basically water balloons. Lose that pressure and they get soft and mushy. Meat gets its structure from proteins which can denature and get harder. Fungi also have water pressure in cell walls but as you mention they survive heat very well so they shrink but stay spongy. (* Assuming you are not cooking wood :D )

I like to cut them into small pieces, add a bit of a good oil and appropriate spices, then cook them in a pan. Lots of water comes out, i cook until most of the water is gone and the bottom of the pan goes dry. Now its time to add onions, garlic, other veggies, water, and now some of the water now enrichted in flavor moves back into the mushroom pieces. From here it can go many ways for many different dishes. Could be an awesome vegan or vegetarian pasta dish, or a truly amazing steak in a mushroom sauce with mushroom topping. Endless possibilities.

You can hardly go wrong with a good olive oil, but could be whalenut oil or something else that is fancy, or something as basic as a good sunflower seed oil. Here it matters what dish, what direction you are going for. For example, you can cool down mushrooms prepared like this and make them a salad topping, to which i would add some kind of nuts cut down a bit and have the oil match that. Pecanut mushroom salad with pecanuts, pecanut infused mushrooms, and a pecanut-oil based dressing, oh wow. Taste explosion and you grin smugly as guests ask how you managed to add a pecanut-taste right into the mushrooms.

A little bit of salt with the mushrooms can accelerate the releasing of moisture while cooking, too. If it’s already part of the recipe and I’m trying to render or break down something a bit quicker I do this 👌 gives those veggies a bit more of a savory flavor as well in the end result. Does much more for me than powdering everything up in dried spices.

The problem I actually run into with mushrooms most often is that they won't brown ENOUGH. Mushrooms can indeed be very watery, and if your skillet is overcrowded or you haven't browned the onions well enough, it's really easy for your dish to become a flavorless soup. One thing the video doesn't address is whether the added cooking time destroyed a significantly greater amount of nutrients, which might have been nice to know.

If it's a taste issue, cook them with something stronger like garlic to enjoy the nutrients without the taste, or in something larger like a soup. If it's a texture issue, cut them small or use a food processor to eliminate the issue. You could also look into different varieties that may have a milder taste. If all that fails, mushrooms are hardly mandatory. As long as you have the nutrients you need, enjoy your meals and aim for good health. Good luck!

Yes, you can. You can ruin the flavor without burning them. They all have their own degree of tenderness. Example - Resinous polypore should be sliced very thin and seared on both sides without losing all the moisture. At this point it's like eating tender beef with its own fungal umami. Keep cooking it and it becomes dirt flavored shoe leather. Lion's mane when cooked dry tastes like egg white bubbles fried in deep grease, patted dry and over peppered. (It was nice in a salad.) Several polypores are crap if you overcook them. And puffballs, especially Wolf farts.

America's Test kitchen said if you don't want you're mushrooms soaking up grease or anything, microwave em 1st. Also, I saw where someone replaced hamburger with mushrooms in tacos. They replaced different percentages to see if anyone could tell in taste and texture. If I remember correctly, a 50/50 mix was the highest ratio of meat to mushroom where no difference was noticed

@@Kitties3eva For you personally, maybe. I'm not even Vegetarian, I still eat meat regularly, and I would happily have a mushroom patty instead of a beef one (just not an unseasoned portobello cap. You'd need like 3 big ones at least, with some good spice, to be equivalent to a burger patty. meat is far denser than mushrooms). Portobellos and other Champignons are great but they're nowhere near the best mushrooms. Oyster or Lion's Mane mushrooms make far better slab-of-meat replacements. Both make for fantastic fried "chicken" once breaded.

@@hershmysson It is really good even with store bought mushrooms. When I buy portobellos I often eat the caps as usual but dry the stalks even if those stalks are perfectly edible as they are. For drying I just slice thinly and set them on a tray on the fridge as the no frost in my fridge will dry them in a few days. But an oven set on low or of course a dehydrator will do. As for powdering, I use a coffee grinder but I used to jerry rig a thing with a stick blender and saran wrap. After grinding I pass it through a sieve and maybe regrind what is left if there is much that won't pass. There is also mushroom powder commercially available but it is too expensive. The powder can elevate almost any savory dish.

I would argue that scorching is a separate problem from overcooking. My older sister, when she first watched us and cooked instead of my mother, always wanted to rush whatever she cooked. That resulted in a lot of scorched (and undercooked) meals at first.
