I recently got about 15 pounds of fresh green beans from a friend. She pickles them and gives away the shorter ones. I didn't have a colander big enough and wanted to get them processed.
So I found a new garbage bag, and filled it with the beans and water. After sitting for about 10 minutes, I simply poked a hole or two in the bag and drained the water. They were clean and all together to bag and freeze.
It sure did make quick work of my project and I had fresh beans that night. Still eating them, in fact, as you can take out as much or as little as you want. N-JOY!

Great info, thanks for sharing!
Great idea! You are very creative, like it. :)
great idea and if you are canning tomatoes core them and blend them instead of pealing them after you put them in hot water. saves a lot of standing and hours of pealing. if there is a skin while cooking, just pick it out of the pot
I've been using the vinegar minus the salt for ages, but for anything hard skinned, I put a drop of dishwashing soap on it, scrub it, and rinse well.
