Every time I have cooked beets I have cut them up unpeeled and put them into cut up potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, spinach, and what ever else I had in the refrigerator. Worked out great until the next day when I thought I had kidney failure, then remembered the beets. Sorry if I am too gross.

If you have not heard of it I highly recommend the Instant Pot. It is an electronic pressure cooker that heats up to pressure, cooks to the time programmed, lets the pressure off and keeps food hot all automatically. I have had it over a year and really enjoy it. It is great for beets.

I haven't laughed soooooo hard in a long time. Thank you for sharing

The bloody mess doesn't end with preparation. It also goes through your system and comes out looking bloody. We used to grow beets that were huge. They were a big staple of our diet. Now I only get the pickled kind from TJ's. There are yellow beets (but not as good). The greens are also great.

This confirms why I do not eat beets.

If someone made me beets, there might be a murder. ?

I love beets! They have an earthy flavor that my family says is the taste of dirt. Ha! Roast them with a drizzle of olive oil, salt & pepper. The greens are yummy too! Try the yellow beets, just as good without the crime scene.

I abhor beets for the taste. You have provided another reason. Thanks for the warning!

they do leak!

but boiled? no, no, no! anything but that! try roasting them! boiling a vegetable is almost... well this is the wrong site to call something sacrilegious lol. but you get to keep the flavor and the vitamins if you cook them ANY other way. roasting is best but even microwaving beats (pun intended) boiling!

if they tasted good after boiling just IMAGINE how they would taste after roasting )

I love beets

Don't freak when you go potty now.
