My old boss in Cleveland told me to never salt mushrooms until after they're seared.
He said it would make them boil in their own water. I followed that for years until I tried salting them right away at my new spot. They actually sear better and faster, getting a deeper color in about 4 minutes. Has anyone else found that old rule to be wrong?

Man, that's so true. I started salting early and it totally changed my mushroom game. That old advice just doesn't hold up.

Wait, is it really that big of a deal? They're just mushrooms, man.

Right? It's like that salt pulls the moisture to the surface so it can evaporate faster, letting them brown up quick.
