    simmer means you just leave it on a lower heat.

    Re: Cooking

    simmer is like a gentle boil... in that there are only a few bubbles appearing...

    Simmer as Jambon says is on a low heat (usually the lowest that the hob has, like gas 1)

    It should say how much water is needed though?

    you put destuctions instead of instructions didn't you?

    the freudian slip bit was cos you were supposed to put instructions but were thinking she would mess it up or destruct it so you put that?! :spangled: :p
