Beets can take a long time to cook, but two simple techniques can shorten the process. Microwave method 1. Wash the beets thoroughly, trim the stems, and peel the skins. 2. Cut the beets into large pieces and place them in a perforated plastic bag. 3. Tie the bag and microwave on high for 15 minutes. Oven method 1. Preheat an oven to 180 °C (356 °F). 2. Wash the beets; the skins can be left on. 3. Wrap the beets tightly in foil and bake for at least 30 minutes, checking for doneness every 10 minutes. After either method, it is recommended to cool the beets in water for a few minutes before serving.
