August has come, which means you can go on a "quiet hunt" for boletus. These mushrooms grow in mixed forests with a predominance of conifers, therefore, in most cases, it takes a lot of time before cooking to clear the mushrooms from spruce and pine needles.
How to clean fresh butter quickly
Butterlets are incredibly tasty both fried and boiled and pickled. They can also be dried for the winter, and on cold winter days, they can be cooked into hot dishes. For example, dried butter oil makes an incredibly tasty roast. If you have never cleaned the butter, then remember that the main thing in cleaning is caution, since the mushrooms are incredibly fragile. So, first decide what you will cook from these mushrooms in the future. If you have soup or any second hot dish on the menu, then there is no need to remove the skin from the cap; for pickling, it is imperative to remove the thin skin.
Remember that the film on the cap has a subtle bitter aftertaste, but the bitterness is practically not felt in the finished dish. If you want to quickly clean the oil, then dry them slightly beforehand. For example, they can be left for an hour in direct sunlight, with their caps facing up, or they can be placed in the oven for 30 minutes by adjusting the temperature in the device to 70-80 degrees.
It is much easier to remove the film from the caps even after immersing the caps in boiling water for a few seconds, but this must be done carefully, you must not allow moisture to get on the bottom of the caps. In general, cleaning oil should start from the top, that is, from the caps. First, you need to carefully remove the film from the cap, or remove the debris from it with a stiff brush, then use a sharp knife to scrape off the dirt under the cap, and last of all - from the leg. Before cooking, it is better to rinse the mushrooms so that small debris does not spoil the taste of the finished dish.
Is it possible not to clean the oil
Butter mushrooms are mushrooms, the cap of which has a sticky surface, so cleaning is indispensable. However, you can only remove garbage, it is not necessary to remove the film from the mushroom (if you are not going to pickle them). However, I repeat that the film from the cap has a bitter taste, so be prepared for criticism of the dish from guests or household members.
