Instead of having it simmering away for an hour or so could I put it in the slow cooker would take longer but would be better than having a pot bubbling away in an already hot kitchen

My wife cooks beetroot in water, salted, covered, in the oven.

Cook in the microwave.buy all same size beets.they will cook evenly.place in dish with a littlee water in the bottom. cover with cling wrap on high power for 10mins.then turn over beets and cook for a further 10 mins on high.Cool then peel.easy peasy !

Microwave. Agree with petal1955. So stress-less and energy saving.Unless, of course you are preserving them in a waterbath method, which perhaps, the wifeof Peterlat1 was doing. Of course, if the oven was on for other stuff needing lengthy cooking, then into the oven they would go.
i find that one medium sized beetroot, with a cross sliced across the top, then popped into a container andcovered in cling wrap with a little water -as petal suggests, will cook in three to four minutes. Maybe longer; depending on the size. Sometimes less. sometimes more.

This is a rough guide only. I rarely cook just one beetroot. Generally a few at a time. All the best.
