I was wondering about canned or fresh as well. Is it possible that you
bought a bunch of tough beans at the grocery? My normal rule is to cook
them as you did, but instead of timing exactly 5 minutes, I take one out
and eat it, see if it is done, and then get the rest into that ice bath
as soon as it is. Every once in a while, I get tough beans. From the
gardening group I learned that the variety of bean you grow makes a big
difference.
