How should you prepare Portobello mushrooms?

Start with the current product label, because it is more specific than any general method. It tells you whether the product is ready to serve, needs defrosting or needs full cooking.

1. Check the pack: Inspect the delivered mushrooms and discard any that are not in good condition.
2. Prepare carefully: Trim the base or stems as needed.
3. Use a clean setup: Wash only as the label directs and dry gently.
4. Follow the required method: Cook in a hot pan, soup or other fully heated dish.
5. Finish close to service: Serve immediately while the texture is at its best.
