How To

How to Cut Shiitake Mushrooms

The shiitakes grow well. There is nothing wrong with them. They are fine. But how can we make them cut without hurting ourselves? We've tried everything. Even the scissors. We keep losing them. What's the matter?

Well, there's a trick for that. Place a rubber band on the stem of the mushroom and twist it tight. This will ensure that you don't fall and break your wrists.

The rubber band makes the stem slippery, so it feels natural when you pick it up. Plus, it doesn't hurt to hold the stem tightly.

You can now try it. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to cut mushrooms now.
