Mushroom House Dried Portobello Mushroom Slices, 1 Pound (2 Pack)

I recognized this as a great deal and the reviews looked just as good.I made rice with my rice maker and used some of these mushrooms in the rice maker at the same time. That sure was easy and it turned out perfectly. It's the quality one would expect at a fine restaurant.The mushrooms absorbed moisture as intended in the rice maker that I always use to make rice. This way I had no extra cleaning to do and it was no trouble at all. Yet it made the rice special. I didn't even use any herbs as I wanted to see how it would work straight. Sure worked properly.Now I believe I'll always use mushrooms when I made rice this way. After all, mushrooms are a great addition to a meal that one can have as often as daily and probably not get too tired of it. At least that's what I think today, could change my mind after a lot more experience.

Great to grind up and mix in vegetarian/vegan dishes for that umami-flavor that is often lacking. This takes veggie burgers to the next level. With fresh mushrooms, they often release fluids that can leave veggie burgers soggy and falling apart. This imparts great mushroom flavor without the liquid. Just grind or blend in a blender or food processor. It is difficult to find these in my area, so this big bulk bag will last my quite some time. I just sealed the rest with my vacuum-sealer.

Huge bag of mushrooms makes a wonderful seasoning. If you plan on using large chunks of these mushrooms, reconstitute overnight with just enough boiling water to cover - you might have to weight them down in the water with a strainer (I put a can of peas on top of the strainer) otherwise they will float to the top.The flavor is FANTASTIC! I like to put them in my herb grinder and add the powdered mushrooms to my dried instant vegetarian broth.

$25 for a pound of dried portabella is a steal. The package is HUGE. Looks like I need to concentrate on recipes that include portabella if I'm going to use them all this year. The less intuitave are complaining about the shroom dust that settles to the bottom of the package. Firstly, they are are DRIED, so you will get settled particulates. Use your imagination and put them in a shaker.

Nice quality---many large pieces (I had feared receiving only broken chunks)

I got tired of buying fresh mushrooms and watching them go bad in the fridge before I could use them all. This is the answer. The only thing I was worried about was how would they taste. Not to worry. Rinse before you soak, and enjoy.

really handy to have around the house. keeping fresh portobellos around all the time to use in cooking is difficult if you aren't preplanning menus. with this I have them whenever I want

Outstanding, in my opinion. Large pieces, no trace of any infestation as noted in some other products. I do try to keep package airtight.
