FAQ About Grilling Mushrooms:

So, that leaves lots of questions about how to care for them and prepare them well. Here are some answers to the questions that you may have about properly preparing this delicious..ummm…vegetable?
- Can you marinate too long? Since mushrooms are by nature very porous, it is possible to marinate them too long. They will soak up too much and may become too mushy if they sit too long in the marinate. So, stick with 30 minutes of marinade before grilling.
- How do you clean portobello mushrooms? Since the mushrooms grow in the ground it is necessary to clean them as the first step of preparing them. To clean the mushrooms, you need a damp paper towel. Wipe the cap and stem of the mushroom to remove any dirt.
- How do I choose a good portobello mushroom? A fresh mushroom should be firm and have a pleasant smell. Inspect them carefully before purchasing. If they are slimy, have dark spots, or the gills are wrinkled, stay away!
How to Properly Store Portobello Mushrooms:
To store your fresh mushrooms until you are ready to grill them, start by removing any packaging from the mushrooms. Then, place them either in a paper bag or on a tray and cover with a paper towel. If storing in a ziploc bag, leave the bag open. The key is you want to avoid the mushrooms getting too much moisture in a sealed container. Do not freeze fresh mushrooms, and use within a week of purchasing.
Once marinated and grilled, the mushrooms will need to be stored in an airtight container. They will last in a refrigerator for 3-5 days or in the freezer for 10-12 months.
