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.
Bring a scant 1/2 inch salted water to boil in a large frying pan or saute pan. Add green beans, cover, and cook until green beans are tender to the bite and water has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes (depending on how crisp you like your cooked green beans).
