      I can't stand restaurants that blanch or worse yet, just run raw beans under a heat lamp after tossing in some oil or butter. They are raw and they are gross. They don't taste like a cooke bean. Yes it's fast. Yes you can hold them all day and reheat them or leave them under those horrible lights. But they are terrible.

    I have shallot and string beans. I've never cooked string beans that long but I will give it a try. Lazy I am, I usually just put the fresh string beans right into a large frying pan with oil and some water, close the lid and cook it until it's tender. This saves me from washing another pot.
