Wood will expand and contract across the grain, and a wide panel made of solid wood could change width by a half of an inch, warping the door frame. By allowing the wood panel to float, it can expand and contract without damaging the door.
Put trimmed and cleaned green beans in the steamer basket, set over the boiling water, cover, and steam until tender to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes (depending, again, on how crisp or tender you like your green beans).
Add green/yellow beans and reduce heat and steam for about 7 minutes. 2-Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat olive oil until hot, and add garlic. Watching closely, and stirring, allow the garlic to brown slightly, and then take off of the heat. 3- Add the vinegar, and some salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper. 4-In a pretty bowl, place the steam green beans and the basil. Toss with the garlic oil and vinegar dressing. Adjust the flavors with salt, oil and vinegar as needed (which shouldnât be much) and serve.
