To prepare, simply place the unopened bag of green beans into your microwave. Follow the cooking time instructions on the package, typically a few minutes. The steam generated inside the bag cooks the beans perfectly. Once cooked, carefully remove the bag from the microwave, as it will be hot. Open the bag away from your face to avoid steam. The beans are then ready to be served as is, or seasoned with your favorite spices, butter, or a squeeze of lemon.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole or cut green beans, the french cut style offers a more delicate texture and cooks more quickly. The steamin' easy preparation method is distinct from boiling or sautéing, as it uses the vegetable's own moisture for cooking, which can help retain nutrients and a fresh taste.
