When it comes to cooking, there is a lot of debate over what temperature to use for different tasks. For simmering, most people say to use a low heat on an electric stove. However, what does that mean?

What is the exact temperature that you should use?\n\n Simmering is typically done at a lower temperature than boiling. Boiling occurs at 100 degrees Celsius, while simmering is usually done at around 85 degrees Celsius.

This lower temperature allows for a slow cook, which is perfect for thickening sauces or cooking tough cuts of meat.\n\n To find the perfect simmer temperature on your electric stove, start by setting it to low. Once the water begins to simmer, turn the heat down until the water is just barely moving.

This is the sweet spot for simmering and will ensure that your food doesn’t overcook. <\/p>\n \n
