Simmering Pot

A simmering pot refers to a cooking technique where food is cooked gently at a temperature just below boiling. This is achieved by heating water or other liquids until small bubbles form but do not break the surface vigorously. This method allows flavors to meld and ingredients to cook evenly without the risk of boiling over or becoming tough. Simmering is commonly used in making soups, stews, and sauces, ensuring that delicate foods, like fish or vegetables, retain their texture and taste while absorbing flavors from the other ingredients.
