Many thanks re beetroot

Love beetroot,  such a bind to cook.

Read of a thread about micowaving it.    A bit of water, a glass jug,  4 minutes.  Lovely beetroot.   Problem solved no mess.

Ah yes, just the one would be going to overkill by putting on the oven.

Never tried the microwave method. Will give it a go tho'.

I usually cook more than one at a time.

Pressure cooking them is good too. It takes about 8 mins or so for large ones.
