What's the best way to cook a beet in the oven?Hi there People :)I have some whole purple beats, that looks like it got picked from the gardenI would like to cook them, preferably in the ovenI'm just wondering how I go about doing that ( like how long in the oven, would it be best to put it in tin foil, etc) Any suggestions on the best way to cook them and suchI also wanna put some potatoes and onions with it after.
No, there's nothing to worry about Even if it was a cheap disposable, those are not subject to popping open at typical attic temperaturesThe Mythbusters tried to get a bunch of lighters to fail in a hot car, and were not able toSee the link below - near the bottom of that page is Episode 65 – Exploding LighterI think they abused the disposable lighters sufficiently to put your mind at ease Even if it did open up, the lack of an open flame would allow the gas to dissipate and you'd never know anything had happened I once threw a 1/2 filled Bic lighter into a bonfire - despite being bathed in flames, it took nearly a minute to melt and burstThey're pretty sturdy, actually.
First, are you taking anything for the OCD? I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure that if you were actually OCD, you would never have left the attic without the lighter in the first placeShort of scrubbing all the skin from your hands in an effort to be clean, you should be experiencing some very intense itching from rolling around in Owens Corning fiberglassAs for the lighter, I've lost entire cans of oil and gas in a bonfire before, and nothing REALLY bad came out of it.
How many times have you won a state lottery? The chance a lighter left in an attic causing a fire in the future, no matter how hot the attic gets in the summer time, is about the same as winning the lottery twice in a row! It just ain't going to happenDoor bell transformers are placed in the attic to run the door bellI have seen them burn out and catch the insulation on fire and the fire would usually creep about 2 to 3 inches from the transformer before going outInsulation just makes a very poor fuel for fireI would be more worried about the door bell transformer than a dropped lighterAnd I don't worry about transformersSorry about your OCDI know it can run your mind over the cliff sometimeBut the lighter incident shouldn't be one of those times.
experience, this is the best way to cook fresh beetsIf you ask the Beet Queen (aka me, Alanna) how to roast beets, what oven temperature to use for roasting beets, even how long to roast beets, I'll tell you, It dependsYou see, I've tried so many ways of roasting beets, some simple, some a little complicated, some worth remembering, others notIt's taken five years of cooking beets to settle onto my favorite way to roast beetsThis method takes the least fuss and every time, yields moist and earthy cooked beets Roasting beets is easy but it helps to arm yourself with a few shortcuts, tips and techniques I've collected over the yearsAnd once you've roasted beets, there are soooo many quick salads and sides to choose fromCheck out all the beet recipes, the ones that call for pre-cooked beets are marked like this They don't call me the Beet Queen for nuthin'.
You sound moderately intelligentAnd yet you ask about any chance and the percentage riskSince only a moron would ask whether there were any possible set of circumstances in which the lost lighter (are you sure you actually had it in your pocket?) would cause a fire, or someone with a really rudimentary imagination, then I wonder if I am not overestimating you? Lets see, (if I have overestimated you, the following is sarcasm) the government just spent $70 million on a study where the dropped various items into various types of insulation and subjected it to 20 years of weathering and agingThe results were, unsurprisingly, dependent on the type of insulation and the items(I note that you fail to mention that small point in your post)To get the full report, please send a SASE and $15 to the Government Printing office, or better, go to the web site iamanidiotpleasehelpme and order on-lineMy understanding it that lit propane torches were definitely the worst, sub-critical masses of plutonium a close second, and wet sand the safestYou wouldn't be stupid enough to expect someone to give you a percentage without extensive study, or would you? You could call the lighter company, they almost certainly can use a good laughNo, I'm lyingThey won't admit it but lighters spontaneously burst into flame if they are not kept upright and if they are not used for 4.742 yearsSo, obviously you will need to sell your home before 2017That's actually what happend to Jimmy Hoffa.
