Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 March 1912 — Steamed Beets. [ARTICLE]

Steamed Beets.

Beets may be cooked in this way in about the same time that it takes to boil them, and this method is a happy compromise between baking and boiling them. To bake them is not a very economical method when the work must be done by gas, yet by this method they retain every bit of their sweetness and delicate flavor. It is best to use a little water in the pan when baking fbem, so they are thus partly steamed. ■ ■ Unless they are covered by another pan, in which case the steaming process is more complete, they win need to be turned frequently, but not with a fork, for this makes them bleed. A pancake turner is the best thing to use. »
