Perfectly Cooked Beets in Instant Pot

Remove the green tops from the beets, then gently scrub them with a vegetable brush to remove any remaining dirt and brown spots. Cut the beets into halves, ensuring they are all roughly the same size to achieve uniform cooking results.

Arrange the beets in a single layer on top of a wire rack placed at the bottom of a versatile pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot. Add water to cover the beets. Securely close and lock the lid, following the manufacturer's guidelines for high-pressure cooking. Set the timer according to your desired level of doneness: 15 minutes for a chewier texture or 20 minutes for a softer consistency. Allow the pressure to build up, and then wait for 10-15 minutes.

Release the pressure slowly using the quick-release method as instructed by the manufacturer, taking about 5 minutes. Carefully unlock and lift off the lid to access your cooked beets
