Today I had my first successful venture with cooking beets. I put them into an instant pot with a lot of butter and some salt, cooked them for 2 minutes and allowed the pressure to slowly go away.

All bitterness was gone. They were very slightly crunchy, like a steamed carrot. They also lost some sweetness, but they were good. Left behind was an interesting deep beet colored butter which I will experiment with later.


Hmm, i know what it says but 2 minutes, isn't it more accurately an "almost instant" pot?

painful...... Spent Friday in surgery spent Saturday night in th ER
Do you have a leg massage unit? They inflate and deflate pushing the blood around in your leg. They're very nice for recovery from knee surgery according to other people. (I haven't tried them.)

The local assemblyman sent a happy flagday email.
I want to reply "shame all these arselings, like the thin blue line people, for flag desecration. It's not theirs to turn into a political/social statement.

And I'm too tired to claim it in the other thread. I'd like to win doing my car by day/kitchen by night thing, but I changed my car's transmission fluid (had to use my feet on my ratchet to push with my legs to get the plug loosened, and then it kept spinning around until it came off), fresh coat of wax, and detailing the windows, and doing some running, I let Red Lobster do the cooking.
And a part of that running was getting my car on jack stands, and then contrary to what I was certain I had, I discovered I actually did not have a bit large enough for the plug.
I also discovered the Discount Tire guys unhooked my under body lights. So I redid that, and replaced some zip ties. Didn't matter too much, because the car wash ate the front one (and I already strongly disliked automated car washes)
And even though per Chicago standards, familiar and well known words can eventually come to lose a hyphen or space in proper usage (such as the journey from e-mail to email), it looks weird to use ziptie, underbodylights and carwash. But we use headlamp and headlight. But not headlampassembly. We do use underbody, but we don't generally see zipties.
American English should unleash it's inner German. It can be done, it's just going to take some very stubborn editors thumping their style guide like a Southern Baptist Pastor thumps his Bible.

Its more like 20 minutes all accounted for.

One idea is to form thinly sliced cooked beet into flowers or roses. I think they are the right shape. I don't know how they will taste when cooled but probably not bad.
