Cooking beets, as a rule, has always taken a lot of time. At the same time, after cooking, the whole pot will be soiled, and an unpleasant odor will spread through the kitchen. How to remedy the situation and quickly cook beets?
First, you should not take a huge beet. Then it will have to be cooked longer. It is optimal to cook and bake beets of medium size.
Secondly, beets are washed thoroughly. This is necessary in order to get rid of the top layer.
