Have successfuly grown the above two root veg and cook them by scrubbing, boiling, skinning and then reheating by gently frying in melted butter.
The problem is that a gum like residue is deposited around the water line of the sauce pan used, and believe me, it is really difficult to remove.
So, 2 questions really.
Is there an easy way to remove this deposit?
Is there another way to cook these vegetables?
Help please cos Mrs will not clean pans.

Have you tried putting a piece of lemon peel in the pan when you are cooking? Bicarb is very good for getting pans clean when they look beyond repair! Been there. Left a stew once and went back to nicely cooked top and B=====d bottom!!

Thanks for  advice.
For those out there interested I actually sought advice whilst in Italy recently and was told to whisk a desert spoon of plain flour and a teaspoon of lemon juice into the cold cooking water. It worked, but keep a careful eye on the pot as it can foam and boil  over in the initial stages.
Other ways of cooking, peel and roast, cook as for chips, wrap in foil and steam. Or of course, boil with skins on, cool, peel and reheat gently in melted butter. (My Favourite)
Very nice with a blue cheese sauce
