No. Just drain it and put in a pot with a little oil and saute

I drain them well, spill the can out in a dinner plate, dry the whole thing really well with paper towel, then I chop them a bit smaller.
If you just drain and fry it will splatter everywhere.

IMO no matter what you do they will end up tasting and feeling like rubber.

You over fry them then.
Did it often for mushroom sauce or creamy mushroom, had it for supper tonight.
Of course they aren't as good as fresh mushrooms but are alot cheaper and always available.

I drain them and then squeeze by the handful.
Sit on kitchen towel or flat in a colander and pat dry as best as possible (if you can do from as early on as possible).

For mushroom sauce I like the button mushrooms best and leave whole, if using slice I roughly chop and add in at the same time as the onions or shortly after, they need alot of oil and long very low flame.
Unless you get them really dry they do splatter alot.

I Sautee onions and then add the mushrooms a little later to Sautee.
Delicious with scrambled eggs.
Everything else I use fresh mushrooms but for omelets they work really well.

I drain them, refill can with fresh water and let them sit for a few minutes, drain again, then saute.
It seems to get rid of some of the canned taste.

Sauté onions. Once they are translucent and fragrant, add the drained mushrooms for 5 minutes.
Done.

Lol you made me chuckle! Rubber...I don't like the tinned mushrooms, rubber is a good description!

Funny you should say this. I detest fresh mushrooms, which taste like potting soil, but can eat an entire container of canned ones all by myself.

Canned mushrooms are irredeemable. Period.

I also really dislike canned mushrooms on their own but sometimes add them to a dish like beef bourginion ( or however you spell it) or mushroom rice, that already contains fresh mushrooms. This way , the flavour of the fresh mushrooms dominates but I increase the actual amount of mushroom by using canned.

Agree. And always wonder who is buying them and WHY? Fresh mushrooms are not hard to find, not hard to check for bugs, not challenging to cut. What's the appeal?

Where I live in Israel, depending on the day of week it can be hard to find fresh, and if I do find fresh it's triple the price of if I would have ordered in advance which still gets expensive.

Enjoy living with fresh mushrooms and let me enjoy my tins (something I never thought I'd say before living in Israel LOL

)
