Wondering how to cook beets?

Boiling Beets: Wash and trim the beets, leaving about 2 inches of the stem and root ends. Place the beets in a large saucepan and cover with salted water (about 1 teaspoon of salt per quart). Add a few teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice to the water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and continue to cook for about 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the beets. 

Roasting Beets: Wash and trim the beets, leaving an inch or two of the stem and root ends. Rub the beets with a little vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; wrap in foil and bake at 375ºF for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. The time varies depending on the size of the beets.
