I have one and I use it but I don't consider that cooking. It is just

Maybe I just take food more seriously than some folks. If you are
going to eat, it might as well be a treat. I like cooking.

I like cooking, but microwaving frozen green beans is about all they
deserve. Mind you, I'm in the "tender-crisp" camp, so there's not
much difference between nuking and cooking them on the stove.

Fully cooked green beans with bacon in them is a different thing
altogether. That requires the stovetop.

We go back and forth on the green beans. I either steam them with salt
and some spices or they get that southern "cook for several hours with
hog jowls" thing.

Green beans cooked for several hours? What's left? Gray/Brown mush?


Good old greasy green beans that taste great as they clog your
arteries. It is a southern thing I guess.
They are not boiling for hours, just a slow simmer.
