That recipe uses canned green beans, which are cooked during the canning
process. Mostly, you are warming canned beans and bringing them to the
level of "doneness" or "over-doneness" that you prefer. My grandmother
"canned" green beans for use when they were not in-season; they too were
cooked, or par-cooked, in the canning process. When she prepared them for
serving, they were treated as fresh beans (see my other post on this
subject), they just didn't take as long and she used less water and salt
(which was used in the canning process).

===========================================

Thank you, yes, I understand the canning process. I do can stuff but never
beans. I usually just pick them from my garden and steam them from fresh.

My beans are not ready yet so I will buy some tomorrow and probably cook
them for Tuesday) I will report back.

Thank you so much for your help)
