Not usually, I do them with butter and they taste nice (not as nice as fried but still ok)!!

slice em .. put worcestershire sauce on them .. cover em and about a minute .. then stir and see if they need a bit more

really depends on quantity

I do this sometimes for breakfast - mushrooms on toast with lots of black pepper

You microwave mushrooms?

Hang your head in shame.

You're the sort of person who feeds their child non-organis pasties. And I wish to have nothing to do with you, madam.

Hello, my name is BernieBear and I too microwave mushrooms (for frequent snacks!) I usually bung them in a bowl, a little bit of water, cover and then 2-3 minutes in a microwave. Bloody lovely.

Some people love chocolate, I happen to snack on microwaved mushrooms (it's quicker and less to wash up than grilling or frying). oh I also love anchovies and olives. Pregnancy changed me

That first bit was in an AA stylie by the way. Also I am not pregnant now (my ds is 2.9) but the taste buds never actually returned to normal, nor did my boobs for that matter!
