Freezing mushrooms

I slice mine first then open freeze them before popping in a bag so I can get out how many I want - I usually use them in a spag bol or similar but I get better results by slicing them first rather than leaving them whole

Thanks for that, I'll try them that way next time I have some to freeze.
I've been experimenting recently with freezing mushrooms since I often get left with some that I don't want to use immediately. Mostly I just fry them a little first and then freeze, but I've just used some that I'd tried freezing whole and uncooked. Hopeless, as OP says - very waterlogged (and I'd thawed them in fridge).0 -
Hi jumblejack,
Now that your thread has dropped down the board I've added it to the main thread on freezing mushrooms where you'll find more advice.

Errr, you cook them don't you? I have the feeling the cooking kills just about anything, definitely more then a bit of water would. 0 -

I personally would chop & cook. If you freeze raw, they'll go all watery & mushy"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" Einstein 19510
