Just ordered a Norpro Beans Frencher today to deal with our glut of large green beans. We are hoping to take single severing sized beans down to a size and freeze them for the winter, besides who doesn't like frenched greens beans.

We just happily finished running 12lbs of green beans threw the Frencher. They are bagged and frozen to add a little garden green to are winter dinners. We are putting this tool on the list of essential tools a garden/Kitchen should have.  You may only use it once a year but you reap its reward for the rest of the year.
