Cremini Mushrooms
A mushroom — mostly water until high heat drives it off, then pure umami. Crowd the pan and they steam; give them space and they brown.
Keep it fresh
Storage & shopping
Storage
Paper bag in the fridge, never plastic — they need to breathe. Dried varieties keep a year and their soaking liquid is free stock.
