How do I dry out mushrooms(Portobellas) before cooking them so there is no water oozing out of them after I bake them? do I cook them alone in the oven first or what? Thanks for the help ahead of time.
what are you doing with them? I marinade them and then go direct at like 400*ish. Hell sometimes I sear the presliced ones 1 minute per side and they are about ready to eat then.
speaking of which RD by us has cases of port. mush. for like $9 right now.
were stuffing them with chicken and a sour cream mix. but last time we did this there was water drainning out of them and made it too sloppy. I will try doing them alone in the oven first before stuffing them.
I can't understand why there is water oozing going on. When I've done stuffed portas over the years they come dry and firm. I break the stem off, drizzle with balsamic vin, evoo, s/p and add the items on, and top with cheese and 'bake'. No ozzing going on...

No Thats for sure not the chicken or the sourcream or cream cheese but you did give me a thought maybe , just maybe my wife washed them first which would explain it maybe. yep she did! just asked her. I just imformed her to clean them with a towel or paper towel and not to run them under the fawset to clean them. I will post the results back on here after the cook.
That's what I thought. Stop it! :laugh: :laugh:

First off mushrooms are in excess of 90% water. Some moisture loss (oozing) is going to occur unless they are dried to the point of being dehydrated. I usually grill mine gill side down for the first few minutes and then turn over, stuff with whatever is in the plan for the day and grill with the cap side down. If being consumed quickly, further moisture loss should not be a significant problem. If being re-heated and eaten later moisture is going to be a factor once more. I find it interesting that people rave about the moisture (juice) from a steak, but consider moisture (juice) from a shroom to be a negative thing. I like the juiciness of them when freshly prepared. Just my($0.02).
