Cook beets only this way: there’s no smell and the pan is always clean. | November 24, 2025

Beets have the peculiarity of staining not only your hands, but also the foods they’re cooked in. And it can be quite difficult to wash off.

I use my own method thanks to which:

• the dishes always remain clean;
• while cooking in the kitchen you can’t smell the characteristic smell of cooking beetroot;
• the vegetable remains juicy and sweet, bright red in colour and tasty.

Always choose medium-sized, dark-colored beets: they will certainly be sweet and juicy.

Wash the beets thoroughly and dry them with paper towels. Don’t cut the stem.

We pack the beets in a bag, add the sugar, 1 tsp., and place them in a bag. We seal both the first and second bags well.
