When blanching yellow beans how long do you keep them in boiling and then how long in cold water then bag them and freeze?

Hi: I found, you bring a pot of salt water to boil. submerge yellow beans ( perferably in a basket) into the boiling water for three minutes. Take the blanched yellow beans out of the pot of boiling water and immediately put them in a pot of ice cold water. Let sit until beans are cold to touch. Lay out on clean dish towel and pat dry. We used vaccum seal bags and this works wonderful, for storage and preservability. Good Luck. Albert & Edna

later. Don't leave it sitting around at room temp.

This from Wikipedia:

The temperature range in which foodborne bacteria can grow is known as the danger zone. This is typically considered to be between 40°F (4.4°C) and 140°F (60°C)[1], though often 45°F (7.2°C) is considered the lower temperature of the range. According to the 2005 FDA Food Code, the danger zone is defined as 41°F - 135°F (5°C - 57°C). Potentially hazardous food should not be stored at temperatures in this range in order to prevent foodborne illness, and food that remains in this zone for more than four hours must be discarded.
