How To Use Dried Mushrooms

Directions for reconstituting dried mushrooms:


  1. Place dried mushrooms in a heat-proof bowl.
  2. Carefully pour enough boiling water over mushrooms to cover by about half an inch.
  3. Allow about 15 - 30 minutes for mushrooms to rehydrate and soften.
  4. Remove mushrooms from water, gently squeeze excess liquid back into bowl, and allow to cool for a moment—then cut into approximately ½-inch pieces (depending on usage).
  5. Reserve liquid for use in recipes as it contains great flavor from the mushrooms (leave the last 1-2 Tbsp. with any dust or debris).


Best used in: Possible uses for dried mushrooms are many, but some of the best options are risottos, soups, stews, creamy pasta dishes, or quiches.


Tip: Sautéing rehydrated mushrooms is not recommended as they are more likely to burn.
