How much time the beets are cooked in a saucepan. How and how much is cooked beets.

Beet for cooking should be of medium size (not more than 10 cm in diameter), with a thin dark-red skin, without damage and rot. One of the best is the Bordeaux variety.

Regardless of the method of preparation, the beets need to be thoroughly washed, cut the tops (if any) and shorten the tail slightly.

Beets before cooking do not clean.

If you remove the peel, juice will flow out of the beets. Vegetable will become pale and tasteless.

Method 1. Classic

Time for preparing: 2 hours.

Put the beets in the pan and cover with cold water. Water should completely cover the vegetables. Salt water is not necessary. Sodium will make the beets harder and slow down the already slow cooking process.

Put the pot with beets on medium heat. When the water boils, reduce the heat, cover the pan with a lid and leave for a couple of hours.

To keep the beet bright red, you can add lemon juice to the water: ½ teaspoon per liter.

Readiness can be checked with a fork. If the beets are easily pierced, you can drain and cool.

Beets are not cleaned before cooking, water is not salted

Method 2. Express cooking

Time for preparing: 45–60 minutes.

To speed up the process, some hostesses launch beets into boiling water and do not reduce the heat to a minimum. And to the water temperature was even higher, add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

When the beet leaves for about 30–35 minutes, it is removed from the heat and sent under a stream of cold water for another 15–25 minutes. The temperature difference brings the vegetable to readiness and cools at the same time.

Method 1. In the mode of "Steaming"

Time for preparing: about 40 minutes depending on the multicooker model.

Wash the beets and place them on a special steaming grid. Pour a glass of water to the bottom of the bowl. Close the device, set the steamer mode, and you can go about your business for 40 minutes.

  At the bottom of the bowl it is necessary to pour water

Note: for this method to work, the beets should not be dry. If the root crop is flattened, it is better to soak it for a few hours in cold water. When the beets again absorb moisture, it can be boiled. But better on the stove or in the following way.

Method 2. In the mode of "Quenching" or "Cooking"

Time for preparing: 60–80 minutes depending on the model of multicooker.

Everything, as in the classical method, just do not need to regulate the fire. Just put the washed beetroot in the multicooker bowl, cover with water and turn on the mode of “Quenching” or “Cooking” (sometimes called “Soup”) for 60 minutes.

An hour later, check the readiness of the beet with a fork. If still stiff, turn on the same mode for another 20-30 minutes.

Method 3. In the "Baking"

Time for preparing: 60 minutes depending on the model of multicooker.

This method is good for young vegetables when they are tender and juicy. Beets need to be washed, dried with a paper towel and wrap in oiled foil (each root vegetable separately).

Then put it in the crock-pot and cook in the Baking mode for about an hour.

Time for preparing:   20-25 minutes.

In the same way as in the previous method, wrap each root vegetable in foil and bake at 190 ° C.

In the oven, beets are convenient to cook when you need a lot. For example, immediately for a salad and herring under a fur coat.

  Do not forget to grease the inside of the foil with vegetable oil.

By the way, for making beetroot salads there is a small life hack. If you want to not paint other ingredients, cut it and sprinkle with vegetable oil, and only then combine with other products.

In my family, beetroot is cooked exactly in. This is the easiest and fastest way.

Time for preparing: from 8 to 20 minutes.

The time depends on two factors: the size of the beets and the power of the microwave. In microwaves with a capacity of 1,000 watts or more, beets are cooked in 8–10 minutes. If you have a less powerful model, double the time.

Beets need to wash (do not clean!) And put in a glass dish. At the edges try to put large roots, and in the center - the smallest. At the bottom of the tank need to pour 3 tablespoons of water, and on top - cover with glass or a special cover for the microwave.

To reduce cooking time in a low-power microwave, put the beets in a plastic bag for baking and tie them tightly. In this case, the cover is no longer needed.

  This method not only saves time, but also leaves the dishes clean.

It is not necessary to pierce or cut the beets: it will not explode. It is not necessary to interrupt the process and turn it from side to side. Also, do not pour vegetables after cooking with cold water. It is better to let cool at room temperature.

To make dishes that include boiled beets in their composition get tasty and healthy, choose fruits that are not too large and desirable - not forage varieties (that is, dark), young root vegetables are best. In principle, forage varieties are completely edible, but with they are not so tasty. In addition, the standards for the introduction of chemical fertilizers for feed crops differ somewhat from the standards used for feeding food crops. That is, in the fodder beet may contain a greater amount of unhealthy substances.

How to cook beets?

Consider ways to properly and quickly cook beets. Some advise to cook beets up to 2 or even up to 3 hours. Of course, the usefulness of the product after heat treatment for such an amount of time can no longer be thought. How much to cook beets in time, depends on the variety and the size of the roots. Professional chefs cook medium-sized beets for 20-40 minutes, without cutting the tail, peel, then pour over cold water and after 15 minutes the beets are ready, precisely because of the temperature contrast of the procedures. It remains only to clean it and chop or grate. Let it not seem to you that the beets will turn out too hard - we have our teeth just to chew, besides, more vitamins will remain.

Cooking

Choose the fruit of approximately the same size and thoroughly wash. Pour the beets in a saucepan with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the fire. When cooking, the water should completely cover the fruit. Cooking is best on low or medium low heat. This method of heat treatment is optimal. If the roots are large, they, of course, can be cleaned and cut into pieces, but it is better to just boil a little longer, I think, 40-60 minutes will be quite enough.

To improve the taste when cooking beets, you can add a little fennel seeds and dill (about 1 teaspoon to 2 liters of water). This technique not only improves the taste of the finished product, but also contributes to the absorption of vitamins and other nutrients.

How much to cook peeled beets, again, depends on the type and size of the fruit. Purified medium-sized beets brewed for 20-30 minutes, no more, this is quite enough, especially if the beets are young. So that when cooking the purified beets do not lose their characteristic bright burgundy color, you can add 1-2 teaspoons of vinegar to 1 liter of water.

To determine how much to cook beets for salad, you need to decide whether you boil the whole fruit or pre-cut. In general, beetroot for salad is boiled for as much time as for cooking the rest of the dishes.

How to cook young beets?

For cooking young root vegetables, boil them for 20 minutes. Then cool the beets in cold water for 10 minutes, peel, and you can use: chop, grate, punch with a blender.

Many are interested in how to cook beets in the package. Some cook beets in plastic bags and even plastic. It seems that this method is not too healthy, however, cellophane can be used somehow even more, but polyethylene will definitely add unhealthy substances to beets when heated. Put the beets in the bag, make a toothpick a few holes, put it in a pot of boiling water and cook as usual. It is better, however, to build a foil bag, place the beets in it and bake in the oven at an average temperature of 40-60 minutes. This method is a great alternative to cooking.

The calorie content of cooked beets is approximately 44 calories per 100 g of product.
