Alternatives:
  • If you don't plan to use the brooth
    for Borscht, you can cook the beets
    washed and unpeeled for an hour and
    then peel the beets. The peel comes
    off very easily this way.
  • Beets easily stain the cutting board
    and your hands.
    You can use disposable gloves and
    a plastic bag to cover the
    cutting board to ease the cleaning.
