FAQ
Two pounds of green beans cook for 4 minutes. Then, let the steam release naturally for 10 minutes before manually releasing the rest of the steam.
There are lots of options! Some of my favorites are chopped onions, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, ground ginger, a pinch of cayenne pepper or bacon. It also gives green beans more flavor to cook them in broth.
