To Christine RE: Dried Mushrooms

[Guest guest]

I guess there is no real reason why you should soak them for the longer

amount of time. I guess soaking them is for the folks who don't have

microwave ovens (there are some you know? Like my MIL).

 

I always soak them. If I know I am making a recipe that night that has dried

mushrooms in it, I soak them earlier in the day. While I am making the water

for tea or something like that, I put more water in the teapot and make my

tea and soak the mushrooms at the same time.

 

I will try nuking them. I never tried that before. Good to know it works.
