How to Cook Portobello Mushrooms

When selecting portobello mushrooms, make sure they are plump, firm and solid. A nice earthy smell is a good indication of a fresh portobello mushroom. Remember, a slippery mushroom is a sign of decomposition. If you place the portobellos on a plate and cover them with a paper towel, they can keep in the refrigerator for up to six days. Once the portobellos are cooked, they can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
