Instructions
Fill a large pot (5-6 quarts ) ¾ full with cold water adding 1 tablespoon of kosher salt per quart of water. Bring to a full boil.
Drop green beans into boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes. Test one and see if it's tender enough for you. Don't over cook them. Ready a strainer or colander to drain cooked green beans. Dress as desired and serve while hot or plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and dry, store in an airtight container, and refrigerate up to 5 days.
