Quick Summary
Simmering is a cooking method where food is cooked in liquid just below the boiling point. The liquid is heated to the point where it gives off steam, and small bubbles may appear on the surface. This gentle cooking technique is commonly used for preparing soups, stews, and pot roasts. It allows flavors to meld and tenderize ingredients without the harshness of rapid boiling.123
