Our take on the Shroom Broom

The Shroom Broom is a two-in-one mushroom tool: a small brush for sweeping dirt off caps and a corer for removing stems. It is aimed at foragers and home cooks who clean wild mushrooms and want the stem out without crushing the cap. Compared with a plain paring knife or a soft brush, it does both jobs in one pocket-sized tool, though it is a single-purpose gadget rather than an all-round kitchen tool.

Pros

Brush and corer in one tool
Brush clears grit before the stem is cut
Corer removes stems without crushing the cap
Small and easy to carry on a forage

Cons

Single-purpose: little use beyond mushrooms
Brush bristles can clog with wet dirt

Type: Combination mushroom brush and corer
Uses: Brushing dirt off mushrooms; removing the stem from the cap

Questions and answers

What does the Shroom Broom do?: It combines a brush for sweeping dirt off mushroom caps with a corer for removing the stem. You brush first, then core.
Is it better than a knife and a brush?: It replaces two items with one small tool, which helps on a forage. A knife is more versatile for other kitchen tasks.
Does the corer work on all mushroom sizes?: It is sized for typical cap diameters. Very large caps and tiny ones may need a knife instead.
Can I use it on store-bought mushrooms?: Yes. It cleans and cores cultivated mushrooms the same way, though they usually need less brushing than wild ones.
How do I clean the tool?: Rinse or wipe the brush and corer after use and let them dry. Wet dirt is easier to remove before it sets.
Where is the Shroom Broom cheapest?: At Chef'n, for $5.99, as of our latest check.
