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.
Add [one pound] beans and soak at room temperature for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours. Drain and rinse well. It strikes me as an unsafe food practice to follow Cook's Illustrated's advice for soaking dried beans for 24 hours unrefrigerated.
