I cant find your video on how to store mushrooms, btw love your tips , they all work , thanks a lot

[@jerryjamesstone]

it came out today

[@carolhill8599]

I have been washing mushrooms for years! Just don't soak them & I dry them gently and carefully. So glad to see someone who finally says this can be done! Also love your freezing method and will try it soon. I tray freeze lots of things: raspberries, blue berries, rhubarb slices, strawberries, some extra herbs, homemade gnocchi before boiling, etc. Many things don't require cooking first. I'm fixing dinner for just me most of the time. So nice to be able to get just a handful of this or that. Will watch your storing mushroom video next.

[@jerryjamesstone]

thanks!

[@Poppies__]

The other videos on KZbin does not teach you to sautee them first which is such an important step! Thanks for the great tip, now I won’t have soggy mushrooms!

I really appreciate ur help when it comes to preserving vegetables - I don’t trust some other videos haha. Like u said other methods work if u just want to throw in a soup but to preserve the texture only ur method works and I have been looking everywhere for this guidance !

I've always bought canned mushrooms I went into a grocery app and saw frozen mushrooms I didn't know you can buy them frozen this will save me money thank you

[@jerryjamesstone]

Of course

[@nathanfleming5965]

Man @Jerry Jones Stone You are a godsend! Really smart good advice. I'm a recovering alcoholic so it's really important for me to eat the right organic vegetables. and portobello mushrooms are high on the list. With that said went to Costco froze a bunch of mushrooms in the organized package. D thawed 3 of them for my vegetable medley... soggy chewy, I can't wait to be done with this pound of vegetables I cooked cooked for the next few days. However this weekend when I go back to get my 3 months supply of frozen vegetables, I'm totally gonna do your advice!! Out here in Maui, HI vegetables are expensive and you know of course the man always wants us to work harder, For him. than the ability to have time for ourselves in our own vegetable garden. Like I said thank you for this video and I can't wait to try it and check back in. To let you know how I did

[@jerryjamesstone]

Yes, let me know and thx!!!

[@nathanfleming5965]

@@jerryjamesstone Yeah Hey how's it Jerry! I wanted to come back and give you the update I promise! So I light sautéed those portabella mushrooms, In Olive oil no seasoning. As you suggested.. it smelts so good, like hamburgers; it was so bizarre. Space them out let them cool to room temperature threw it in the freezer. My initial 1st regret in retrospect was not precutting these portobellos because they're the full size adult caps. But as far as re cooking for mixed vegetables it came out da bomb! light chewy but so insignificance it hardly mattered. I'm almost wondering if I could have helped it more by scooping the black whatever that is out before before the initial saute. Along with precutting. It's like a weird delicate game of dethawing these mushrooms to cut to bite size pieces it's pieces and then getting it to cook evenly with all my other frozen vegetables.

[@jerryjamesstone]

Thank you for this update

[@nando415]

Thanks for the tip! I use mushrooms sliced for pizza toppings, omelets or stir fry. Would you recommend slicing them before cooking? or after? or not at all... lol

[@jerryjamesstone]

I would slice them before cooking for freezing.

[@jerryjamesstone]

You can definitely slice them before cooking in prep for freezing

[@Blissxx93]

Thank you! Very informative video 🌻 I bought too many mushrooms and I've been panicking because I don't want them to go all gross 🤣 sauteeing them right now!

[@jerryjamesstone]

Awesome!

[@katielouieschwartz]

Jerry James Stone you’re so great, thanks. Butternut squash, squash, asparagus and eggplant. Jerry, thank you so much.

[@barbarabrightwell6418]

Thank you i have been wondering how I keep mushrooms I buy them in bulk and many different kinds.

[@jerryjamesstone]

You're welcome

[@patnunley2341]

A certain grocery store will sometimes mark mushrooms down to practically nothing, and so I always had too many on hand and they would go bad and so what I did was I would put them in a large ball, and let them sit on the counter to dry out even for daysand then was able to put them in recipes eggs and just cook them with other recipes

[@jerryjamesstone]

oh coool

[@rochikasharma9566]

Thank you sir, from 🇮🇳India

[@jerryjamesstone]

Of course

[@thomp9054]

You can use a straw to draw most of the air out of freezer bag

[@jerryjamesstone]

Great idea!

[@osmonfrances2407]

what about using a vacuum sealer?? how do you store them then? thanks!

[@jerryjamesstone]

i dont have one of those

[@sueann3701]

Can I use this method with a meatless stuff mushroom? If so do I sauteed, let cool, stuff and freeze or should I freeze without the bread crumb stuffing?

[@jerryjamesstone]

I have not tested that but that could work.

[@kellyhilliard3579]

Hi., will this work for all mushrooms? I recently found lions Maine mushrooms in my supermarket and they had an amazing effect on my mental clarity. Now I want to buy them up., as I have never seen them in the store before.

works for most

[@kerrycissne6080]

Do you recommend leaving the end of the stem alone or does it matter?

wont matter

[@saurabhshri]

Hi Jerry, how do I thaw them? Basically I want to put them in pizza/pasta. How do I use them after taking out from freezer?

[@jerryjamesstone]

If you cut them for how you want ot use them, you should be able to just cook them right in.

[@saurabhshri]

@@jerryjamesstone Got it! Thank you! I will be able to try it today. They have been frozen for a week now, and yes they are already sliced to the way I want. Thank you, I will keep this thread updated.

[@KingKatura]

Alright so i'm chef 1:29 You can wash mushrooms but the added water does make them more like boiled than fried. You should wipe them down with the a damp cloth but what i do when i's lazy and don't want to eat fertilizer, i rinse them for a second and then instantly dry them. I notice a lot of people cook or par cook vegetables before freezing them, is it something you have to do to freeze them or only for mushrooms, or just makes it easier? Recently i decided that i better start freezing certain things because its pretty hard to find specific frozen vegetables. But believe it or not i haven't froze anything is so long.. I usualy just make everything for the family from stuff i buy the week.

[@jerryjamesstone]

Freezing breaks down the veggies so cooking them stops that.

[@KingKatura]

@@jerryjamesstone Merci lol how did i not know that.. I feel like this internet era has made people forget simple things that we once knew. Reliant on searching to much maybe? crazy world, thanks bud.

[@osmonfrances2407]

I need a video after you freeze then use them. Like , How do you use them if you wanted to thaw them out & use them on a pizza? Do you cook them again? ''Example:: ''whats next?? .. if i am trying to explain what i mean?? Thanks!!

[@jerryjamesstone]

so a how to use frozen mushrooms?

[@Autumnbreeze83]

Curious can you lightly salt them while the sautéing process prior to freezing ?!

[@jerryjamesstone]

I do not.

[@Kaia-Kae]

Hey, do not salt mushrooms before sautéing because the water will retain and browning will take longer, thus the cooking time increase, hope that helps :)

[@Incredible43]

Hi, just found your video and have a quick question. For people like me who don't use oil can we sautee in veg stock or water, will they freeze well? Thanks

[@jerryjamesstone]

yes, the main thing is that they are cooked before freezing. you could use a non stick pan, the oil is just for the pan i am using
