Simmering

  • Simmering is the preparation of food by cooking it in hot liquid. Simmering occurs prior to the boiling stage, when the temperature is just below the boiling point (between 190 – 200°F).
  • Simmering is an essential and more gentle way of boiling and is used for preparing soup, sauces, and more.
  • You can reach a simmer by carefully watching the water get closer to boiling, and when the water starts slightly rolling, reduce the heat to make sure a boil is not reached. Another option is to reach a boil and then reduce the temperature to make the water stop boiling (this is a less gentle technique, which can have big impact on the final product).
  • Simmering reduces the liquid more slowly than boiling does.
  • The heat of the burner depends on the amount of water and power of your burner, but in most cases, the heat should be between low to medium.
  • This is a moist-heat cooking method and can be performed in any kind of pot.
