    💭 Common questions & tips

    • How to sauté mushrooms? Heat a pan or skillet without oil. Once hot, add mushrooms and cook until they release liquid, have shrunken and are softened.
    • Do you need oil when cooking or sautéing mushrooms? No, you don't need oil to cook mushrooms. In fact, cooking mushrooms without oil gives them a nice sear! As the mushrooms heat up in the pan, they release their liquids and will cook in their own liquid, concentrating the flavor of the mushrooms. If you still want to add butter or oil, do this towards the end.
    • How long to sauté mushrooms? Sauté mushrooms for around 10 to 15 minutes, and cook them up to 20 minutes.
    • How to keep mushrooms from sticking to pan? Use a pan like cast iron or hard anodized aluminum. If you have a non-stick-free pan, you'll need to stir more frequently to keep the mushrooms from sticking to the pan in the beginning.
    • How long do sautéed mushrooms last in the fridge? Sautéed mushrooms have a slightly longer shelf life than raw mushrooms. They will last in the fridge for five to ten days. However, always make sure to check on them for spoilage before consuming.
    • Can you freeze sautéed mushrooms? Yes. Place sautéed mushrooms in an airtight, freezer-safe bag or container. They keep fresh for up to 6 months when stored properly.
