Sous Vide Beets Temperature Guide
Beets are messy to boil and even messier to roast. Sous vide solves it: 183°F for an hour and the beets come out tender, sweet, and sealed in their own juices — no pot to scrub, no purple-stained cutting board (until you slice them).

Buying advice
Cook at 183°F for 45-75 minutes depending on size (small beets 45, large 75). A splash of vinegar or orange juice in the bag balances the earthiness. After the bath, the skins slip off with a paper towel. Use them warm with goat cheese and walnuts, or chilled for salads. The sealed bag means zero beet-stained hands.
