How To

How to cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes are doing well. They are fine. However, how do you cut them without cutting yourself? We tried everything. Even scissors. They keep falling out of our hands. What is the deal?

The trick is simple. You must put a rubber band around the mushroom's stem and twist it tight. By doing this, you won’t slip and get cut.

This may seem too simple. It is. However, it is also very efficient.

The rubber band makes it slippery so that it feels natural when you pick up the stem. It doesn't hurt to keep the stem in place.

Do it! You will be amazed at the ease with which you can now cut mushrooms.
