Simmering
Contents
Purpose[edit]
To slowly cook liquid foods, or foods in liquid just below the boiling point.
Equipment[edit]
Medium heavy sauce pan
Technique[edit]
- Adjust heat so that the liquid emits a few small bubbles
Considerations[edit]
This technique is used in so many contexts it's difficult to pin it down. If you are cooking liquid food (such as a sauce or a stew) that is at risk for sticking, make sure that you stir it frequently and scrape the bottom.
