Ask:
Would you cook beets like you would cook potatoes? I mean, would you boil them just like when you're boiling potatoes? Use the fork test and everything?
Answer:
I steam mine for about 45 minutes I dont boil....you also wanna leave stem and roots and such on just wash/scrub them...them let cook slightly and skin will peel right off...you can also roast them which is my favorite.

To roast beets:
preheat the oven to 350
Rub the scrubbed beets with olive oil sprinkle with s and p, place them in a roasting pan with a few Tbs water.
Cover with foil and roast until they can easily be poked with a knife.
