Talk:Simmering

It might be helpful to add a "how to simmer" section.

Where does this crap come from: "The term "simmering" was originally used by the Native Americans, coming from simero 'to bubble or froth'"? I've been looking for a while, and any source that supplies the same etymology sites wikipedia as its source (if there is a source). So, I'm just going to go ahead and remove it, as it is not sourced and I cannot find a source for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.194.200.141 (talk) 17:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Your etymology of the word is not right. "Simmer" existed in English from at least the middle of the 17th century.  As always, check the OED about English etymology.
 * 1653 More Antid. Atheism ii. xii. §12 That their vital heat and moisture may not always only simber in one sluggish tenour, but some times boil up higher and seeth over.    1684 tr. Bonet's Merc. Compit. iv. 135 Let it simmer on a gentle Fire, then let it cool. 97.73.244.21 (talk) 17:12, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Long-simmered Moroccan short ribs? This page needs a picture of simmering water, nothing else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.16.133 (talk) 14:29, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
