Thanks for the simple but tasty looking Shitake mushroom recipe.

For anyone who finds that they are burning the butter, you might try using half the amount of butter and then substituting olive oil for the other half, which should help keep the butter from burining.

Also kind of curious, but for a lot of mushrooms they say not to wash them, but instead to “brush” them, theory being that washing them dilutes the flavor. Is that the same rule for shitake mushrooms as well???

10 wiffy August 11, 2009 at 9:45 am: Hi markie, thanks for sharing your tip about how not to burn the butter.

I rinse all my mushrooms briskly with a kind of a sieve with large holes … I’m a little paranoid about not washing my mushrooms because our produce are not organic here, and I don’t know how they have been packed :D So far my mushrooms did not become slimy after rinsing, and I’ve read somewhere that the so-called ‘diluting’ of flavour is kind of negligible if not at all.
