Ha - I had a line cook show me to get a pan fuming hot, no oil, before throwing mushrooms in, the moisture from the mushrooms create a ledenfrost effect and you get as close as you can to having some browning on the mushrooms (while keeping a lot if moisture in). Can't burn em!
I'm unhappy that I've done this exclusively with t-fal non stick pans over the years. Going to get myself a nice 3 ply stainless pan today!
Edit0: If you try it, the mushrooms sound like sneakers squeaking in a gymnasium.

- el_benhameen 3y agoAnother good method for getting mushrooms to brown and crisp without getting them oil-logged is to cook them in some water to break down their structure. The end of this video details the technique, although I usually use more than 1/4 cup of water. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XLPLCmwBLBY&pp=ygUOZGFuIG11c2hyb29tcyA%3D https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XLPLCmwBLBY&pp=ygUOZGFuIG11c2h...
