Mushrooms and Garlic Storage
0
I was wondering how long it takes for these to rot basically.
I feel like I blew it with my last batch of these because I chopped them up and tried to wash them with water; the result was a rather awful smelling refrigerator.
Other than that I'm looking for new foods to put them in, as of now I pretty much use them exclusively for:
Steak/Ground Beef/Other meat
Red sauce pastas
Calzone/Pizza
Omelettes
Miscellaneous noodle dishes
I don't really have any preparation tips to give sadly, I pretty much dump some butter on the pan and dump them in soon after. I'm trying to get the garlic to that really soft point where it kinda melts in your mouth when you eat it, but am not sure how to do so.

Garlic should last a fairly long time as long as you don't peel or chop it. You'll know it when it goes bad as it'll get moldy or soft. Although I wouldn't worry too much about it, I mean a bulb of garlic is only like $0.25.
As for the mushrooms, I dunno, I don't really care for mushrooms that much.

Mushrooms have approximately 1.5 week shelf life in a cooled storage atmosphere. After that they get all grimy and are just not good.

Unless you're buying them canned, mushrooms are the kind of item you purchase right before you use them. They don't last long. The best thing to do, in my experience, is put them in a brown paper bag in your fridge; the reason is because the bag "breathes" (ie: moisture can pass through the paper). Don't wash them until you're ready to cook them. As for when they rot, go by the expiration date on the container or even earlier if they're looking questionable.
Unpeeled garlic goes in a cool, dry place- not your refrigerator. Avoid moisture at all costs. Peeled garlic, however, is safe to refrigerate. Some people store it in oil, but due to the numerous bacterial infections that can result from such a method, I advise against it. Untouched, a bulb of garlic is good for about three months; if it's peeled then it's good for a week.
