In this recipe, the mushrooms are meaty, smooth and delicious. Cooked with Meyer Circulon Cookware, the moisture is locked and it is thoroughly cooked without overcooking and gives it an extra crunch on the outside while still being soft on the inside. The perfect heat distribution prevents the mushroom from getting burnt even after 1 hr of simmering.
