Answers to Common Questions

If mold appears on salted mushrooms, are they thrown away?
No doubt thrown away if it has penetrated deeply and there is a steady moldy smell. But if mold is only on the surface, then you can:

  • remove the top layer of mushrooms and drain the brine;
  • rinse the remaining mushrooms, boil them, bring the water to a boiling state and drain;
  • put the mushrooms in layers (not forgetting the salt) in sterilized jars;
  • pour new saline.
What is the best way to salt mushrooms?
For salting mushrooms, clean glass or enameled dishes are suitable (enamel must be intact). You can use wooden tubs (provided that they do not let water pass). New oak containers must be soaked for 1.5-2 weeks and often drained of water so that the tannins of the wood do not cause blackening of the contents. Pottery, and even more so galvanized, is not recommended.
Is it necessary to soak ceps before pickling?
They do not need soaking, since they belong to category I in terms of nutritional and taste properties. Enough cooking during cooking.

Salting is an opportunity to diversify the winter diet with healthy mushrooms. At the same time, there are different ways of salting (for example, hot, cold, etc.), which allows you to experiment, select recipes to your taste and surprise the culinary delights of relatives and friends.
