You can clean mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel before cooking them. If you soak or wash mushrooms directly in or under running water, they will absorb the water and take longer to cook. Both methods are acceptable, but if you want to cut down cooking time, wipe them, don’t soak them.

First, thank you very much for watching this video and supporting my channel! Here are some answers to your frequently asked questions about this video:
Q: Can I just drain the water to make it cook faster?
A: Yes, you can. But why are you in such a hurry? If you concentrate the mushroom juices in the pan, you are left with more flavor in the end.
Q: Did you clean the mushrooms?
A: Yes, they were wiped with a damp paper towel before filming. I don’t recommend that you wash them or soak them in water, as they will absorb water and will take longer to cook.
Q: Why did you add olive oil at the beginning?
A: Oil conducts heat, which heats up the mushrooms faster, and gets them to let go of their water faster.
Q: Why didn’t you use butter?
A: Because butter has milk solids that can burn. So you would only add butter at the very end.
Q: Will adding salt at the beginning help the water come out faster?
A: Not really. What will get the water out of the mushrooms quickly is heat, not salt.
Q: Should I peel the mushrooms first?
A: These are baby Portobello mushrooms, you do not need to peel them.
Q: Is it OK to eat the stem?
A: Yes. You would only remove the stem if it’s too tough or has too much tough fiber, which these did not.
Q: What kind of pan is that?
A: It’s a non-stick Korean wok that I bought at a local Asian grocery store.

Great video. Now I finally know how to properly fried mushrooms. I will suggest using avocado oil instead because it has a much higher burn temperature. Burned olive oil will damage your liver because the high temperature changes the molecules into toxins
No cellulose at all in a mushroom…….
