I scrub the beets and leave whole, cut the tops off leaving about 1 1/2" of stem,put the round rack in the pressure cooker add 1 1/2 cups of water, cook for 15-20 minutes depending on size. Then peel and slice when they are finished cooking. I cook the beet greens like spinach, yummy!
If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can steam your beets in steamer pan for about 20 minutes or until tender.
