Pressure cooking beetroot
« on: July 28, 2013, 11:45 »
Hi, can anybody tell me the times for cooking beetroot in a pressure cooker? Seems to be so much variance in any of the on-line instructions.
I assume it is best to cook beets of a similar size in a batch?
Should the water be salted?

Thanks for any input.

T.T.T.

Thanks for that.
No trivet though - can you tell me why?
Do you salt the water?

I assume you don't use the trivet so the beets will sit lower in the water. Just guessing though, it doesn't give a reason in the book. No salt in the water but you can sprinkle salt on the veg if you want, but I never have.

BQ I think large ones take about an hour to boil, but you would know best, they being your best subjects  ;) I have always used the pressure cooker because it has always worked for me.

Most veg only takes 5-10 mins to cook in my pressure cooker.

Even boiling bigger beetroots, they only take half an hour tops.

I always use the trivet so nothing gets that scalded spot. And no salt until afterward.

Many thanks for all the advice, gone into mass production of both pickled beetroot and beetroot chutney. Now have to wait to see how they taste.....
Did try using the microwave last year to cook them but personally found it very time consuming and messy (I only have a small microwave). Certainly the pressure cooker worked so much better for me.
