Even more new forum groups...

Seems to me that the forums are slightly misnamed. “Electricians Talk” for example is a heady mix of professionals, gifted amateurs and lunatics who will strip out a lighting circuit with reckless abandon. Would “Electrical Talk” be a better name?

On the Screwchef front, I’m fairly new to mushrooms as an ingredient. How the **** does one “wash” a mushroom???

"Electrical Assassination" would be a more apt name, especially with some of the attitudes on there.
You don't wash them, it ruins the flavour as they're mostly water anyway. If fresh just wipe, if old just peel them. Either way, get your missus to do it. ;)
 
Unfortunately the Mrs is a key worker so I’m relegated to house husband/daddy daycare/home educator/forum lurker

I picked some mushrooms once I spent the night hallucinating large oranges chasing me down the road
 
Tonight I wiped rather than washed. Mind blowing...

I can assure all they were Aldi’s finest. Although if this lockdown goes on much longer I may forage for the field variety...

So Jord, in an industrial kitchen with say 20kg of button mush to prep, your gonna wipe every single one ...... really ??

Ever worked in a pro kitchen ?
Things tend to be tight for time always

Wiping 20kg (or more) of mush just ain’t gonna happen

True, you don’t wanna soak them but, in a filled sink, chuck em in, quick agitate and lift out with a spider and drain

As to peeling mushrooms ,,,,,, that hasn't happened since war times

Some mush, say morels, a dry brush is better as they’re rather craggy

Sometimes, and especially with wild mush, there is no option other than a quick dunk and drain as they tend to be ‘enriched’ with soil, sand and bugs

No simple wipe over will fully clean them and who wants a gritty cepe in their risotto ?
