What cooking techniques are best for mushrooms?
You can use almost any cooking method. Mushrooms respond to different cooking techniques much the same way that meats do. Poaching keeps flavors mild, high heat deepens them. Specialty mushrooms, unlike white buttons and portabella, do not give up liquid as they cook – so they can easily be browned in a sauté pan. Many chefs like high-heat roasting to prepare large batches of mushrooms quickly. We recommend tossing with a little vegetable oil prior to roasting.
