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).
Cut off leaves and stems, leaving about 1 inch of the root end. Reserve beet leaves for a recipe using them. Place beets in large heavy pan and cover with water over medium-high heat. Bring just to a boil; reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until fork tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and drain. Let beets cool until you can safely handle them.
