Here...I have all that is needed to pressure cook green beans. I am using my smaller pressure cooker. I will place my base plate in first, my beans and then place my lid on with my dial turned and set onto 15 lbs. of pressure. The markings are on the dial.
BEFORE I put the lid on though I will put about an inch of water in.
I sit it on my stove and place it on high heat UNTIL it begins to rattle and then turn it down. I do this slowly as I hear the rattling subside. It should rattle, rattle, rattle....hiss, hiss, hiss....rattle, rattle, rattle...hiss, hiss, hiss....not rattle constantly. You need to stay with it if you are a beginner user and not be side-tracked. Usually to get the correct sound on my electric stove, my lowest setting is between low and medium. After you get the hang of it, you will be at ease and know the correct sound.
After my beans are cooked...around 15-20 minutes, I remove from the heat and sit the pan in my sink. Sometimes if I am in a rush, I will run some cool water to hurry the process. I will then use a fork to remove my dial and turn my lid off. This is ONLY because I have done this many years ladies. You will want to just wait it out before using any short cuts if you are a beginner. Use common sense!!
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE YOUR LID UNTIL ALL YOUR PRESSURE OR STEAM IS DOWN. IF YOU DO SO, YOU COULD GET BURNED BY THE RUSH OF STEAM!
My beans are done...tender, full of flavor and with the little beans inside popping out...yummy!
I add a bit of butter and serve...

I just finished canning 35 quarts beans . I didn't think about mixing the two kinds of beans...will try that next year. I love my morro canner..so much easier than the older one I used to use.
I sent this tuitorial to a friend..very nicely done!
