âStranger Thingsâ Star Finn Wolfhard Just Got A Record Deal For His Band Calpurnia
Step 5 - Cook the beets. Put similar sized beets (hopefully, they're ALL of a similar size so they take the same time to cook) together with enough boiling water to cover them and cook until tender (usually about 30 to 45 minutes in an open pot, or 10 - 15 minutes in a pressure cooker).
To make with fresh beets, wash the beets and leave an inch of stem and root end on them. Put the beets in a saucepan and cover with water. Add about 1 teaspoon of salt per quart of water. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and boil for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the beets are tender. Drain the beets and let them cool, then slip the skins off.
