I don't think I have ever had fresh beans so I will cook them fresh and freeze some, but after I taste them fresh. Not sure how many I have.
they probably take 20 minutes to 30 minutes to cook? IP for 7 min?
i just picked the ones in the picture. I can leave them in the garden longer.
I don't think you need to cook them anywhere near that long, Fresh shell beans cook quickly. My dried tongue of fire beans cooked in about 25 minutes after an hour's soak. Here's a post from David Liebovitz's blog: (I love his blog.) He does say about 20 minutes - that surprises me.
