Hi Neeharika ,
Probably you have to reduce the time of cooking .. Tell me if the beans got cooked on the top ?
As you said they got burnt at the bottom I think they were cooked too long .
Did u use frozen ? or did u cut and try fresh beans .
Just try reducing the time for 5 min and check if they are cooked.
If not increase the time in gradually 2 min at a time and keep checking.
I used frozen ones so may be thats the reason they took more time.
I will mention from now on if I use frozen.Try and let me know I think this time you should be able to make it ..

hi lakshmi
i used fresh beans.they got cooked at the top and burnt at the bottom.When i took out the beans from microwave,they had become too small.they might be cooked too long.u r right.next time i will try by reducing the time.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Neeharika
Most of the time infact all the time I microwave vegetables in order to save cooking time .
So my microwave cooks vegetables pretty soon at a short time. If you happen to try and check on your microwave it will surely be easy for you .
