In cooking: Is simmer the same as low?!
Answers: If you want something to simmer, cook on low until juice or water or whatever is just beginning to bubble on the edges.
simmer is basically as low as your range can go
simmer is like a light boil.
typically, to have this, you keep it on low heat.
so i suppose the answer to this is yes. hah.
Yea, basically...most ranges have the "simmer" setting around 2.
yes, basically!
the whole point is to not cook something fast when it says simmer. so just make sure you have a low flame!
I think simmer means it's a low boil... Kinda!
Yes
Yes....as low as it can go b/4 shutting off!!!
yes, on low heat but needs to be watched because it can go to a low boil
yes...like if the dial is at 9 for boiling, turn it down to 2 to simmer.
To simmer is to cook just below the boiling point.
I would say that low is probably about the same thing.
Yes, pretty much.
Yes - the generic term "simmer" is the lowest range, but simmer can vary from low simmer to high simmer too ... before it gets into the ranges of boil (slow boil, rolling boil, rapid boil)
sure.
Simmer is low on your stove top. It is a very light boil. So the answer is yes, simmer is the same as low.
yes keep it on low, it won't do anthything for a bit, but than you'll see tiny bubbles on the surface http://busycooks.about.com/library/gloss...
Simmer is about halfway between low and medium.
Simmer is not the same as a low boil, to me. Puddings must never boil, always cook on low simmer.
Turn to high until it begins to boil ,turn down to half to a low ,steady, boil (simmer)
When my mom was teaching me how to cook for myself, thinking I would be a bachelor for life, she taught me that LOW was literally that, the lowest setting of the burner. Simmer is low, but is the lowest form of boiling or near boiling. The water is just at or near to boiling but not really actively making vapor bubbles. When you hear a pot of water being heated and it starts making popping noises but not making vapor bubbles you can see rise to the surface, that is what my mom called simmer. Slow cookers generally do this, where after a while when it comes up to temperature, you see an occasional bubble of vapor rise, but not a constant stream. SImmering is maintaining temperature just below boiling.
