Can mushrooms be boiled?

Question

Mushrooms when sauted get wilted and shrivelled and lose the naturlal texture . Can we over come this problem if we boil mushroms before sauteing them. Are we losing the nutrients by roasting mushrooms. To remove the excess water from mushroms can we salt them before sauteing to retain its natural appearence

Answer 1

If you want mushrooms plump & with no loss of texture ,you should settle for boiled mushroom as in soups & stews.Being full of moisture,sauteed mushroom will loose part of this & a shrivelled look will be part of this process.do not overdo them though .They are good sauteed but you need to ignore the shrivelled look

Mushrooms lose water when heated; salt removes water too.
I doubt that there are any/many nutrients in mushrooms.
They supply flavour & texture, but absorb other flavours.
Sauteing remove water & absorbs flavour from the oil;
i.e. garlic, onion, peppers, etc.
Mushrooms can be simmered in broth or soups also.

The only thing is, I think the crab filling would boil out as they cooked, into the broth. I would imagine it would work if you wrapped them in tinfoil or something?
