I'm tired pretending this variety of mushroom is edible. It isn't.
They literally taste like a soggy sponge soaked in dirt unless you brown them for 100000000000 hours in butter.
Shiitakes are so much better, both texturally and taste-wise.

People will accuse you of being a weeb but I agree on the cremini.

>>21410579 (OP)
they suck raw. Just add water/soy sauce into the pan, let them lose all their water, then add butter and finish

>>21410686
>add water
>remove water
huh?

>>21410579 (OP)
I eat those little nuggers raw anon and enjoy every bite. You must be fucking shrooming if you don't like them

>>21410708
water acts as a catalyst here. Wet mushrooms break down quicker, releasing more water. By adding some water initially you skip the slow start of the process. It saves time.

I don't hate them, but I agree shiitakes are better.

>>21410750
shit take

>>21410744
just salt the shrooms, you poof

>>21410788
what if I don't want to add salt?

>>21410825
then I'm going to take all your squishmellows and laugh at you for being a squishmellow-less desalinated fag

>>21410579 (OP)
You know those mushrooms are mainly used because they soak up liquids right?
You put them in soup, you fry them in garlic butter.
They are spongelike, what is the main characteristic of a sponge anon?

>>21410579 (OP)
edible and you liking it are 2 different things.

just because your a tastelet and don't like it does not change the fact that it is edible.

>>21410837
do not steal my squishmallows!! :O

>>21410788
and you know what it takes for the salt to do something, retard? a bit of water. Which means adding it speeds things up.

I'll take "what is osmosis" for $1, Alex

>>21410579 (OP)
>shitakes are better than button mushrooms

Yeah no shit, Sherlock. Why the fuck did you think they were more than double the cost by weight?

>>21411558
>osmosis is an instant process now

Lols

Here's your trophy for making yet another "I don't like food" thread.

>>21411558
If you press a dry salt crystal against a mushroom, it can only interact with the surface of the mushroom to draw out moisture. If you put the salt into a bit of water, the saline solution is absorbed by the mushroom like a sponge (because it basically is one) and osmosis (hence cell breakdown) happens throughout the mushroom. The same thing happens if you let the salt sit on the surface for a while, where it breaks down cells at the surface, water escapes, and that water dissolves some salt and penetrates the mushroom. Brainlet.

Ain't that the kids movie about the blue guy in Bill Murray's ass or smth

>>21412599
My point exactly. Would you go on /v/ and make an "I don't like Mario" thread?
