Have you ever tried a recipe that turned out to go horribly wrong, or maybe the end product, despite being good, just wasn’t worth the effort? What was that recipe, and what about it made you say “NEVER AGAIN”?
I ask this as I am actively trying to remove the stench of onions from my Instapot lid’s silicone ring after making French Onion Soup in it (so far steaming it with white vinegar on the steam setting, soaking the ring in a water/baking soda bath overnight, and baking it at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes have all done nothing, so I ordered a new one, I give up). And I realized that cutting all the onions and waiting hours for them to caramelize and now this damn smell issue just isn’t worth it. Plus I still have frozen soup in the freezer because I can only eat French Onion soup so many days in a row.
NEVER AGAIN.
Boiling your own beets takes so fucking long, I had no idea. 4 hours on the stove for a simple beet. No thanks, I’ll just buy them in a jar.
I haven’t boiled a beet, but maybe a pressure cooker?
google
Looks like it works.

They list times there.
But have you ever roasted prebooked Beets? And then added some yoghurt and dille? Otto Lenghi has made me taste cool new things!
I boil beets all the time and it never takes more than 1-1.5h, 4 hours seems like you might want to re-visit your technique.
