This recipe ill-advisedly calls for ‘hot water from the tap’.

In the United States, hot water drawn directly from the tap generally is not potable. From one city's department of health to another, one will learn that heat-friendly bacteria may grow in the boilers that heat the water, and these bacteria may make one ill, sometimes seriously ill.

Hence, municipal departments of health generally advise using cold tap water for drinking and eating which is then heated over the stove or in the oven to the desired temperature.

Please correct this recipe and the many others on this site that advise the use of substances that are known to make one ill and caution readers to avoid this danger.

The recipe doesn't say to start with cooked beets. Do the sliced beets actually 'cook' in the brine? The magenta eggs are beautiful!

I made these with cooked wedges of beets, and then when I was short on time I just thinly sliced the beets and used them raw. I don't feel like the extra step of cooking the beets is worth it, and everyone enjoyed the crunchy beet pickles on the side!
