In most cases, boiled beets are used for salads, as their taste is more pleasant.

However, many people find the cooking process tiresome.

It takes a long period of time and not everyone is satisfied with the final result, notes chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.

Therefore, any housewife tries to find a way to reduce cooking time and improve the quality of the vegetable. An ice cube is often used for this purpose.

How to use the method correctly?

In order for the beets to cook faster and be cooked evenly, it is customary to periodically add an ice cube during the cooking process.

Temperature changes allow you to achieve the desired results without much effort.

If you don’t have any ice on hand, you can limit yourself to a small amount of cold water: the effect will be approximately the same.

During the cooking process, water or ice is added 2-3 times.

Approximately the same method is used when cooking peas.
