Why do French beans squeak when you eat them?
-
-
That's cos you haven't cooked them right!

How do you cook a non-squeaky bean? Runner beans don't squeak - only French ones

I'm gonna guess it's to do with the water content of the bean itselfHe who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

VC, I bet you are either leaving them whole or simply chopping them straight across ? try a little experiment, cook one pan in your usual way & at the same time cook another pan that are cut diagonally.
I think you will find those cut diagonally will not squeek, let me know if it works please.He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

Thanks for that totally unrelated answer, Nicos.
I'm a bit worried about one of the posts on the physicsforum
"With fruits in the microwave people usually use grapes.

I cut them diagonally, into diamond shapes with scissors - 'cos diamonds are a bean's best friend.Originally posted by bearded bloke View PostComment

I was actually wondering about the mineral content mentioned causing the squeak factor?...maybe?...Last edited by Nicos; 01-09-2015, 10:23 PM."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple
