Beet - A very healthy, low-calorie vegetable. The root crop contains useful vitamins and dietary fiber, which enriches our body and promotes excellent digestion. Beets are used to prepare many dishes, such as vinaigrette, fur coat, beetroot soup, borscht and others. Cooking beets is not always a convenient and quick process. And if you need to instantly cook some dish, then this method does not work at all. We bring to your attention a very successful, easy and most importantly - a quick way to cook beets in the microwave. You do not have to wash the pot and you will not smell the beets.

One medium-sized beet is well washed with a brush to clean all dirt and other impurities. Choose beets only the best, it should be dark red in color, dense and elastic, even in shape.
In order for the beets to cook quickly, and then do not have to peel it, remove a thin layer of peel with a sharp knife. If you have large beets, you can cut it in half. If you want to bake not one but several root crops at once, they must be the same size so that they can be cooked at the same time.
We put the beets in a food plastic bag, tie it or bend it under the root crop. To prevent steam from accumulating in the bag, several cuts can be made in it.
We send beets to the microwave for 5 - 7 minutes and cook at maximum power. After 5 minutes, you should check the readiness of the root crop. To do this, remove the beets from the microwave, open the bag and use a toothpick to check the vegetable for softness. If the beets are not yet ready, we again tie a bag and send it to the microwave for a few more minutes. The availability of beets depends on the maximum capacity of your microwave oven, the variety, size and quantity of beets. Young beets always cook faster.
When the beets are cooked, carefully open the bag so as not to burn yourself with hot steam, let the beets cool at room temperature and then use it as intended. In order for the beets to cool faster, you can cut it in half. Baked beets can be stored in the refrigerator for three days.
