Step 1

Clean beets to remove any dirt or dust. Cut off and discard roots and stems.

Step 2

Place a rack into the bottom of a 6 Qt instant pot and add 1 cup water. Place beets over the rack in a single layer, cover with the lid and set the valve to the “sealing” position. Pressure cook on high pressure then do a quick pressure release by carefully flipping the valve to the “venting” position until all of the steam is released according to the pressure indicator.

Step 3

Cool the beets and wear gloves to peel the skins.
