Green beans are easy cook precisely to whatever level of doneness you
prefer when stir fried.

Salt burgers after cooking and most times added condiments add enough
salt... no one needs to add salt to ketchup and/or cheese... I like to
top burgers with smothered onions, and those are salted while cooking.

It's even easier not to add too much, simply pay attention.

Depends who you're rubbing.
