Only cook a single layer of mushrooms at a time and make sure there’s enough space in between the pieces that they can be cooked through completely.Don’t Forget to Shake: Shaking your basket halfway through the cooking time helps make sure your mushrooms are cooked evenly. This will keep your mushrooms from being soggy or undercooked.

In the Refrigerator: Store leftover mushrooms in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
