Is it possible to soak boletus overnight
Reading time - 3 minutes.
Oils have specific features, therefore, certain rules are followed when processing them. These mushrooms have a spongy structure, they absorb a lot of liquid, so it is not recommended to soak them, especially overnight.
We advise you to clean and wash the oil immediately after collection, then cook or leave without water until morning in a basin. If you don't have the time and energy to peel the mushrooms, just put the mushrooms right in the basket in a cold place, nothing will happen to them even in a day.
The oil does not produce a bitter milky juice that should be disposed of. Prolonged soaking of these representatives of the kingdom of wildlife can lead to the fact that they simply deteriorate, or the mushroom caps will swell strongly, so it will be quite difficult to clean them. Moreover, prolonged soaking is contraindicated - mushrooms will give water not only dirt (which, by the way, is usually not enough on oil), but also all mushroom juices.
If, nevertheless, with a large "harvest" the boletus were soaked, then you need to lay them out on a trellised surface in order for them to drip. During the night in the fresh air, the mushrooms will remain, but in the morning they must be cleaned immediately.
