One of the successful ways to preserve mushrooms is to dry them. This way, they retain the maximum amount of useful substances, while solving the problem of storing supplies.
After soaking, mushrooms are great for making soups and other dishes. But not everyone knows about the nuances of soaking mushrooms.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to soak mushrooms.
What mushrooms are suitable for drying
In first place are traditionally porcini mushrooms, then aspen mushrooms and birch boletes, as well as boletus, and less often butter mushrooms.
All these mushrooms are soaked in ordinary cold water.
Nuances
However, there is one important point that housewives overlook.
The fact is that the duration of soaking mushrooms depends on the type of mushrooms and the type of drying.
If these are porcini mushrooms or butter mushrooms, then it is enough for them to lie in water for an hour.
Boletus, boletus and moss mushrooms are soaked for 3 to 5 hours.
All these tips apply to mushrooms that have been dried whole at home.
And it is not at all necessary to soak the mushrooms in cold water overnight.
But mushrooms that were dried in a village stove take longer to soak.
