How to Boil Beets in 15 Minutes: It Will Be More Tasty and Juicy Than Usual - An Interesting Method
Usually housewives are not eager to start cooking beets.
This process takes too much time!
Thus, heat treatment of a large root vegetable can last 1.5-2 hours.
Luckily, there is a way to cook beets very quickly.
In order for the vegetable to be ready, it is enough to keep it in boiling water for only a quarter of an hour.
An expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova told about an interesting way of preparing boiled beets.
How to quickly cook beets
It is better to choose medium-sized root vegetables. They will be ready much faster than large ones. And medium-sized beets will probably turn out more appetizing.
The first thing you need to do is wash the vegetable and remove the top layer of skin with a sponge. You don't need to remove the tail yet.
In this form, the root vegetable should be placed in a saucepan on the stove. By this time, the liquid poured into the container should already be bubbling.
There is no need to cover the dishes with a lid.
The beetroot should be cooked for 15 minutes. The fire should be strong.
The next step is to replace the hot water in the pan with very cold water. Preferably ice cold.
The point is that a sharp temperature change will “force” the vegetable to cook better: the heat will quickly “pass” into the root vegetable.
The beets should sit in low temperature water for 15 minutes.
It is worth emphasizing that the “hot-cold” method of cooking root vegetables is good not only because it allows you to save a lot of time, but also because the vegetable turns out much tastier and juicier than with the standard cooking option.
