SIMMERING vs BOILING Cheat Sheet
*Simmering and Boiling Cheat Sheet:
Slow Simmer: Low heat, very little activity in the pot. You’ll see wisps of steam and a stray bubble or two, but that’s it.
Simmer: Medium-low heat, gentle bubbling in the pot.
Rapid Simmer: Medium- to medium-high heat, more aggressive bubbling in the pot, but the bubbles should still be fairly small.
Boiling: High heat, lots of big bubbles over the whole surface of the liquid, roiling activity in the pot.
