In most populated parts of the world, plain water boils at temperatures from about 200°F to 212°F (95°C to 100°C). This varies with the atmospheric pressure, which in turn varies with both altitude and barometric pressure. When the water is [[salt|salted]], the boiling temperature is slightly higher than for un-salted water.<br /> Foods suitable for boiling include [[:Category:Fish recipes|fish]], [[:Category:Vegetables|vegetables]], [[:Category:Pasta recipes|pasta]], [[:Category:Egg recipes|eggs]], [[:Category:Meat recipes|meats]], [[:Category:Dips and sauces|sauces]], [[:Category:Soup and stock recipes|stocks and soups]].<br /> ===What is Simmering?===<br /> Simmering is a cooking method in which foods are cooked in hot liquids kept at or just barely below the boiling point of water. To keep a pot simmering, one brings it to a [[boil]] and then adjusts the heat downward until just before the formation of steam bubbles stops completely. Water normally begins to simmer at about 94°C (200°F).<br /> <br /> Simmering ensures gentler treatment than [[boiling]] to prevent food from toughening and/or breaking up. Simmering is usually a rapid and efficient method of cooking.<br /> <br /> Food that is simmered in [[milk]] or [[cream]] instead of water is referred to as creamed.<br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Poaching]]<br /> <br /> {{CategoryLine}}<br /> [[Category:Cooking method (meta data)]]<br /> [[Category:Cooking methods]]</div>
