Some people are convinced that champignons must be cleaned before cooking.
However, experts say this is simply a waste of time.
Do you need to clean champignons?
Experts agree that there is no need to clean mushrooms before cooking.
But you definitely need to wash champignons. As, indeed, all other mushrooms.
It is advisable to wash champignons quickly, as they are very hygroscopic.
After washing, it is enough to cut off the brown areas from the caps and renew the cut on the stem.
As for the “skirts” and dark plates under the cap, they should not be removed, as they are what give champignons their specific taste.
