Those who have dealt with cooking beets know that the process is quite long, taking from half an hour to an hour, and the smell leaves much to be desired.

However, there is a method that will reduce the preparation of this product to 15 minutes, and there will be no such unpleasant smell.

Before you start, you don't need to peel the beets, just wash them and remove the top layer with a thin sponge. And you don't need to cut off the tail.

To make the cooking process faster, it is advisable to choose not very large root vegetables. By the way, they are tastier.

Do not add salt during the process – only to the finished dish.

So, let's begin: add the beets to the boiling water, cook over high heat, do not close the lid.

After a couple of minutes, add some bread crust to the pan, which will help eliminate the unpleasant smell.

Wait 15 minutes – ready. Then put the beets under cold water for about five minutes. And only then peel them.
