I too am growing a greasy bean for the first time this summer. I think you would pick it at a similar stage as for pole beans, or perhaps with a little more seed showing. Same for preparation.
One place to look for info is in the Heirloom forum on GW. Gardenlad has/had quite a few posts on greasy beans.
