How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes are doing well. There is nothing wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We tried everything. Even scissors. But they just keep slipping from our hands. What is the deal?

Well, there's a trick for that. Use a rubber band to secure the stem of your mushroom. That way, you won't slip and cut yourself.

You might think that it seems too simple. It is. It's also extremely effective.

The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. The stem can be held securely.

Now, go ahead and try it. It's so easy to chop mushrooms now.
