Does anyone have a good way to remove the strings from snap peas?

Pull the strings off! That's it!

I snap the tip off one end and peel the string back on one side then snap the tip and peel the other side.

I just "string" the big string side, with the string between the thumb and forefinger, or between thumb and side of a fork if you prefer.

I do as Bill does, just remove the larger string.

Break off the stem of the pea pod. The stem is a rough area that extends slightly out from the top of the pod. You will hear a snapping sound as the stem breaks.Use a paring knife to remove any stubborn strings that will not pull off. Make a small incision to cut off the tip of the pea pod and then pull the tip downward to remove any additional strings.
