    Sometime recently I read an article about cooking green beans in extra-salty water, but now I can't find the piece. Can anyone point me toward it?

    Tnx!

    Here's a May article from Cook's Illustrated — surprised to see it's not behind the paywall.

    Or you could do it as my mother did which was in water with chopped bacon until the beans were practically mush. ;-)

    Your mother chopped the bacon? Mine just cut it in half. One of my brothers would just eat the bacon and never touch the beans.

    I recall big chunks, so rough chop?

    I have been searching for years to duplicate the amazing green beans served at Lulu's (well, at least the former Lulu's - not sure about the new one.)
