How to cook beets in 10 minutes

Beetroot is an indispensable ingredient for a huge number of dishes, including salads.

A serious disadvantage of the vegetable is the considerable duration of its cooking: sometimes this process lasts several hours.

However, there is a trick that allows you to bring the beets to the desired degree of readiness much faster. The red vegetable will be cooked literally in ten minutes.

The advantage of an unusual cooking method is time saving. If you follow the recommendations, the beets will retain all their juices.

How to speed up cooking

The main secret is the need to send the vegetable to a microwave oven. This device will help you quickly prepare a dish.

However, beets should be prepared for this method of cooking.

First of all, you should thoroughly wash the vegetable. Next, you need to "arm" yourself with a toothpick and make several holes on its surface.

You can't put beets in the microwave oven without a special "shell". This is a baking sleeve.

In other words, the vegetable must first be put in a bag and only then - in a microwave oven.

Next, the maximum power should be set on the device. It will take 10 minutes to cook a small beet. If the vegetable is large enough, you will have to wait a little longer - 15 minutes.

After that, beets will be ready to eat and add to dishes.
