   Tip 1: For perfect hard boiled eggs, place them in a pot of cold water and bring the water to a boil. Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and time 8-10 minutes more. Remove from the heat and run under cold water until they're at room temperature.

   Tip 2: To cook the beets, peel them and quarter them. If the beet is large, cut it into eighths. Place them in a small pot and add water two inches above the beets. Cover and simmer until fork tender.
