It is a mistake to think that among the multitude culinary subtleties and secrets, cooking vegetables is as easy as shelling pears, and this does not require special knowledge, and a kind of duty of every housewife is to cope with this.

Do not trim the ponytails while doing this. If possible, choose root vegetables without damage, and before boiling beets for salad, rinse them well with water to remove contamination.

Second subtlety: beets are boiled under a lid over a fairly low heat, while not allowing boiling. As for the duration of cooking, there are no unequivocal recommendations here. The duration of cooking fully depends on the size of the root crop itself, as well as on the desired degree of hardness. The cooking process, on average, lasts 40-60 minutes. True, there is, but in this process haste is unacceptable.

The third subtlety: the readiness of the beets can be checked with a very traditional and in a known way- it is pierced with a knife or a toothpick. If the beets slide easily over the surface of the knife, it means that they are quite ready. But literally every 5 minutes, you shouldn't do this, otherwise the beets will be completely stuck out, juice will flow out of its cavity, which will lead to a loss of brightness. There is no need to salt the water, besides the fact that it is actually useless, it can also affect the taste of the vegetable.

The fourth subtlety: in order to preserve the color of the beets, you can sweeten a little or slightly acidify the boiled water: add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice, or sugar per three liters of water, but this does not include vegetables.

Fifth subtlety: as for the material of the utensils used, there seems to be no special rules, but it is important to realize that the broth from vegetables will turn out to be very rich, coloring. And yet, it is not recommended to cook beets in metal dishes. There are some requirements for the volume and size of the dishes used. A good one is one in which there is less unused, kind of - useless volume of capacity. Ideal can be called the option when there is a distance of several centimeters from the surface of the lid to the liquid. To get rid of the smell, which is always present during the cooking of beets, you can put a crust of bread in a saucepan.

And finally, the sixth subtlety: in order for the beets to be easily and well cleaned, at the end of cooking, they must be washed or cooled by dropping them into cold water for 8 - 10 minutes. This vegetable must always be cooked separately from the others, and so that the color retains its brightness, and at the same time other, one might say, nearby ingredients, for example, lettuce, it is advisable to grease slices of chopped beets with any olive or vegetable oil.
