How to clean boletus and boletus

Traditionally, the caps and legs of these mushrooms are used in cooking. In this case, the mushrooms must be pre-washed and thoroughly peeled, and then thermally processed. Particular attention should be paid to the legs, since the hats, in most cases, are simply washed. Before cooking and frying, these mushrooms can be soaked in water for several hours. However, if you want to dry or freeze them, you should not. Thanks to careful pre-processing, the dish prepared with these products will have excellent taste.

Mushroom cleaning is a must

It is for this reason that proper cleaning of aspen and brown boletus is of particular importance. Some mushroom pickers prefer not to peel off the top layer from the legs of this type of mushroom, limiting themselves only to thorough washing. However, it should be borne in mind that the top part that has not been removed can cause a bitter taste.

Preliminary cleaning of mushroom caps in the forest

There are several general rules for cleaning mushrooms, regardless of their type. The first stage of cleaning takes place directly in the forest, before the handsome boletus and brown boletus are in your basket. Gently picking the mushroom, it is necessary to remove forest debris from it in the form of twigs, leaves and dried earth. Then, carefully examine it for the presence of worms and damaged areas, which should be removed with a knife.

The second stage of cleaning is usually started at home. It should be remembered that the collected mushrooms must be processed as soon as possible, otherwise, after six hours, they will start to deteriorate.

Before starting cleaning, it is advisable to sort the mushrooms, and also carefully check again if there are any areas affected by worms on each of them. Then you can start the process of deeper and more thorough cleaning. Cleaning of boletus and aspen mushrooms has its own individual characteristics.

At home, mushrooms are cleaned more thoroughly.

After completing the cleaning process, all mushrooms must be thoroughly washed. To do this, immerse them in cold, salted water for about 30 minutes. This will protect the harvested crop from darkening. In this case, 1 tablespoon of salt is used per liter of water. Then rinse the mushrooms thoroughly in clean running water. This procedure is recommended if the harvested mushroom harvest is planned to be boiled, fried or pickled.

After cleaning, it is recommended to soak the mushrooms in salted water

If you plan to dry or freeze boletus and brown boletus, dry cleaning should be done. For this purpose, you can use a dry, clean cloth to wipe off the mushroom caps, or a toothbrush.

Is it worth removing the lower spongy layer of the fungus

The spongy layer of the mushroom under the cap is edible. Everyone decides whether to delete it or not. However, very often traces of various insects can be found under it. For this reason, many believe that it is still necessary to remove it. After completing the cleaning, you should thoroughly rinse the mushrooms again under running water and proceed to their heat treatment.
