2. Saut?

It might be tempting to just put the mushrooms in the freezer from fresh but this is not a good idea. Mushrooms don’t do at all well when frozen just as they are, so you should always cook them first. One of the best ways to cook mushrooms in preparation for freezing is to saute them.

To achieve this, simply follow the following steps. First heat some oil or butter in a frying pan over a high heat. Cook the mushrooms for around 5 minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked, whichever comes first. Your mushrooms are then ready for the next preparatory step before they are frozen.
