can you freeze cooked mushrooms

1 Answer

Answer :

It is definitely better to cook them first for the most possible uses. They are made up of mostly water so if you freeze them raw they will become more mushy then if you cook them first. You can steam or fry/saute them before freezing. While cooking does help, frozen mushrooms are going to be best for things like soups that don't require a solid firm consistency.
