San Saba, TX Explore Before you journey to this quaint northern Hill Country town, youâve gotta understand that this town is NUTS â well, theyâre nuts about pecans, anyways.
A different response: One cup of fresh green beans with a bit of water takes about 3-4 minutes to cook in a microwave oven. Increase time by about 2 minutes for each cup of beans, checking frequently for done-ness. Canned green beans only need about 2 minutes to warm 2 cups with a bit of liquid.
1 Heat a pot of salted water to a rolling boil (1 Tbsp salt for 2 quarts of water). Add the green beans and boil them for 4-5 minutes, until just tender enough to eat (you may have to cook longer depending on the particular green beans you have). Drain and set aside.
