Hi Garnett,

thank you for your kind words and question 🙂

Yes, you can put more in as long as they are the same size.

Take care & have fun cooking

Hi, this recipe and all of your recipes are very simple and easy to follow.

On the beets, I noticed that there was an amount and circumference. Could I put more in as long as they were the same size? And would the time be the same?

I have been using this recipe for a few years. I don’t know if I’ve ever reviewed it.
It’s simple. It’s accurate. And it makes beet prep so much easier! Love it!!

You have not only become my rice expert advisors, but now I found you had a beet approach, which I wanted to try in the Instant Pot pressure cooker, because I knew that could speed things up tonight. Your adjustment charts always provide a solid base from which to calculate. You two take a true scientific approach, which is unparalleled for online help.

I also have been cooking the beet stems and leaves with garlic, since someone at a farmer’s market taught me that trick, and not to throw them away, almost twenty years ago, which is a fantastic! Everyone, try that out. Black pepper either during or after cooking also adds flavor.

Now, if you two geniuses have a way to help cook Orange or Pineapple Chicken in the Instant Pot without burning or over-cooking the side of the chicken which touches the base, the whole time, I would have to send you an award. I think the Instant Pot would need a stirring tool, much like a bread maker machine, but longer, for something like that. Keep up the good work!

Nice way in the pressure cooker ….because my beet was rather large I decided to cube it in quarter since it is the ending anyway …. it cooked in 20 mn in pressure cooker Gourmia
I wonder what seasoning is best and what other veggies go well with Thanks

I had a 10 lbs bag with different sizes so using the size chart made it easy to properly cook three batches using my two instant pots. pickling beets made easy thanks for the lab work and producing this chart.

I have an Instant Pot Duo. Last year I cooked 30 lbs. of beets using your technique of measuring and cooking. After cooling on a clean cloth, and using a table top fan to cool, I cut most of the beets into sections and left the smaller ones whole. I put them into meal size storage bags for the freezer. The beets were perfect when I used them during the winter and spring. We ran out of beets sometime in June. This year, I have purchased 40 lbs. and hope they will last until we don’t need them anymore.
Thank you for your great instructions and for your experimenting!! I will never ever cook beets any other way. 🙂
Thank you so much.
Kathryn

I only had two 7.5 inch Diameter beets. They came out with a slight decrease in cooking time. So glad to have this recipe.
