After boiling for 7 minutes, immediately turn off the stove. The lid of the pan should also be left closed because the green beans must be left in the pan for approximately 20 minutes so that they can become soft and bloom.

After letting it sit for 20 minutes, turn the stove back on. In this second process of boiling green beans, the time needed is approximately 10 minutes. During boiling, the lid of the pan should not be opened so that the hot temperature in the pan remains stable.

"This is 100 percent successful and really saves gas, good luck trying it," said Lely.
