How To
How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms
So, the shiitakes are growing well. There's nothing wrong with them. But how do we cut them without cutting ourselves? We have tried everything, even using scissors. We keep losing them. What's the problem?
There's a trick to that. To make the mushroom stem stick out, wrap a rubber band around it and twist it tightly. By doing this, you won’t slip and get cut.
You might think that it seems too simple. It is. But it's also very powerful.
The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. Plus, it doesn't hurt to hold the stem tightly.
Go ahead, try it. You will be amazed at the ease with which you can now cut mushrooms.
