Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green in color and snap easily when broken.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans and any tough strings.
- Use good quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the bacon until crispy: This will help to render out the fat and add flavor to the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pressure cooker: Leave some space between the green beans and bacon so that they can cook evenly.
- Use a little bit of liquid: This will help to create steam and prevent the beans from burning.
- Cook the green beans for the recommended time: Overcooking will make the beans mushy.
- Season the green beans to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings after cooking.
- Serve the green beans immediately: They are best enjoyed when they are hot and fresh.
