Freezing Mushrooms

[@barbaram5787]

I can't believe that people would think you don't wash your hands. I know you do and don't expect you to show us every minute of what you do. Keep doing what and how you do, I trust you.

Ma’am, thank you for the tips and just ignore the negative comments people make about handwashing. You are in your home cooking for your family. I’m sure no one has died or any kind of poisoning over the years from your cooking. People are too focused on things they don’t need to be focused on.we wash our hands like crazy in the kitchen and just because they don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Love your informative videos. Glad you are focusing on us "freezer-condo-dwelling-people" in your preservation classroom. Just have to laugh at the snowflakes commenting on not washing your hands. Growing up in post-war Europe, I likely ate more dirt as a kid than today's goats. Now, 81 and going strong without any medication!

Keep up the good work

[@KitchenFairy61]

I buy sliced mushrooms at my local Aldi, which isn't very far from me. I dehydrate them and turn them into mushroom powder to add to meat loaves and other meals. We don't like mushrooms, so this is a way to get them into our diet. I've done this for many years. I just made a fresh batch of powdered mushrooms recently.

[@cheshirecat7132]

They sell powdered mushroom in the spice/herbs space at target. Very reasonable.

[@patti6194]

At the Costco Business Center they sell a 2.5 lb box of already sliced mushrooms for cheaper than buying them unsliced from the regular grocery store. Those are now the only mushrooms I buy. I'm 67. To paraphrase, "Ain't nobody got time for slicing mushrooms!"

[@shat5742]

Can you get them at Costco reg. store?

[@janettespence6083]

Yes but what else do they put on the mushrooms for freezing? When you do it yourself then you know what method you’ve used & how you did it etc; with the already frozen ones hiw do you know?? I’d rather pay a bit more & take the time to do my own, thanks 😮😊

Thank you again Pam and Jim. You both are a wealth of information. NOW I know how to freeze mushrooms properly. I am very grateful.

I always take mushrooms out of container and either wrap in paper towels or a small paper bag. Something breathable and that absorbs moisture. They'll last longer till you can use them.

2 boxes of mushrooms grated , 1 large onion fine chopped. Half a bunch of parsley fine chopped. 2 large potatoes fine chopped, a decent sprig of fresh thyme, 1 large garlic clove fine grated. 2 sticks of celery grated. Sweat it all in butter. Add veg stock. Pressure cook 20 minutes. Remove the sprig of thyme and puree. UK boxes of mushrooms, I think about 300g? Can do half stock and half milk.

[@ruthl359]

Current thinking is to initially cook mushrooms in water then add less fat (butter, bacon grease, etc.) at the end to brown them up. According to Alton Brown, fat doesn't actually "cook" them. Only water can do that. And until they're cooked they act like sponges for any fat you add. Doing it in this order means you can use less fat. I cook them at least weekly, for homemade pizza, and I'm a convert to this method.

[@DutchAlaskagirl]

Thanks for that. Love Alton Brown

[@dalegaa4094]

I plan to try both ways and see which works best for me. Thanks.

[@melinaz3385]

I love mushrooms! and I have forgotten them in the fridge, but I have learned to trick this problem, when you buy the mushrooms, take them from the plastic container and put them into a paper lunch sack, the regular brown ones, and put them in the fridge, if you forget they are there, they will dehydrate in the bag in the fridge, that is in the frost free refrigerators. If you have to "wash" your mushrooms which is ok, don't let them soak up a lot of water, but you can lay them out on a terry towel to dry off, then when they are dry you can put them in the paper bag too. but at this point, I just chop them up and season them with a little salt and onion powder and freeze them in cups in sandwich bags.

Pam: That is crazy that someone would accuse you of not washing your hands. Boy that person better not ever eat out at a restaurant. I have watched many videos where you meticulously sanitize your surfaces. Like one of the other commenters I too would like to see a video on raising your own mushrooms. I agree with the perishability of mushrooms. I like mushrooms on my pizza and my family likes to eat them as side dish with both pork and beef. What I do not like are the fresh mushrooms on my pizza that local pizzerias use that do not get cooked due to the short time that those pizza are cooked in commercial ovens. I have frozen mushrooms on several occasions with limited success so I was glad to watch your video so I can improve the quality of the mushrooms I freeze in the future. Another great educational video.

Out of all my food storage, my freezer is my hardest to organize. Because things just get thrown on top of each other. And when something is heavy, like ice or a frozen stew it’s very difficult to mix with that things like bread or vegetables. So it’s a real problem trying to organize the freezer. Every time you have to get some thing out, you have to drag everything out of it. I’m talking about a deep freezer here. Which doesn’t thaw and freeze it make your food stale it stays in a nice deep freeze. But it’s very inconvenient at the same time.

You can sauté the sliced shrooms and keep them in the frig - they will last a couple of weeks or more this way. Keeping them whole in the frig, they should last at least 4-5 days - keep them in a ventilated container, and use the ones on the bottom first - the package they come in is usually ventilated. I just leave them in it with the plastic wrapper pulled over the top of the box.

[@viviannetodd4274]

Thanks for doing a freezer episode (and hopefully more in future). I have tried freezing veggies, but when I cook with them, they are so obviously frozen that they usually get pushed to the side of the plate. I can freeze everything but vegetables, and homemade bread, successfully.

Sometimes, freezing veggies is a real problem, which we have run into too. We have not had many problems with freezing homemade bread, except if it is the freezer too long and gets freezer burned. Jim

What is very, very important - when using the frozen mushrooms, they must be dropped directly in hot oil, boiled or how you cook them. Never defrost them before cooking, a specific deterioration of their protein is happening, which can lead to food poisoning. Defrosting makes them mushy, anyway.

Hello Pam and Jim!! I have a question.... When you freeze dried the lemons....How long did you keep them in the freeze drier??

I am canning and dehydrating and freeze drying...I love knowing that I am making food for our family!

[@crystalcurtis3771]

Your lemons are very high sugar, which is what’s staying sticky. Try just one sliced very thin when you do a load of something else (as a test) and see if that helps. Second option would be to do a quick rinse of your slices before freezing them, but you’ll lose some flavor.

[@gcook9221]

I have FD'd many lemons, limes, and oranges. When the FD ends, don't shut down the machine, open the valve (slowly) remove a tray, turn the citrus over, weigh the tray in grams & put it back in the machine. Do this with each tray, writing down the weight of each tray. The machine should ask if you want to add more dry time. Set it for another 2 hours. After 2 hours, repeat this process. If the trays have not lost any weight, your product is dry and ready to package. Keep repeating this until there is no weight loss. A couple of things to note, slice the citrus relatively thin and the second thing is to make sure there are no seeds in your citrus. Good luck.

[@thebandplayedon..6145]

Pam, I recently came across a proper done study from a university I believe, that said first slicing mushrooms then laying them out in the sun for 15 minutes before cooking/ consuming increases their Vitamin D content substantially.

Already fast frozen mushrooms are usually much cheaper than fresh ones (I sometimes buy 2 Kg bags). Why would you go through all that instead of buying them pre frozen?

I've never seen sliced frozen mushrooms in any of the grocery stores near me.

[@TheSimArchitect]

I buy it from Makro in the Netherlands@@dalegaa4094 In Canada COSTCO used to have them. Now, for certain dishes like stroganoff I prefer the preserved one (in jars), plus it lasts longer and doesn't require freezer space. I like the frozen mushroom to make things like risotto that benefit from a more earthy flavor.
