Simmer
Gently cooking food in lightly bubbling liquid.
What are the fundamentals of simmering?
Simmering is a cooking technique where food is cooked in lightly bubbling liquid at a temperature range between 180-212°F/82-100°C (at sea level).
Water is a consistent and dependent temperature regulator. A gentle simmer (small bubbles — not a rolling ) ensures your food cooks within a predictable temperature range.
Simmering is a means of evaporation while using an uncovered pan or pot, which will concentrate the flavors of a liquid. See .
