Simmering is a cooking technique where the liquid is heated to a temperature just below boiling point, where small bubbles form slowly and break the surface gently. The ideal temperature for simmering is between 185 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit (85-96 degrees Celsius) . According to one source, simmering is generally acknowledged as somewhere around 95 degrees Celsius or something like 195 degrees Fahrenheit. Another source suggests that the temperature for simmering in a Dutch oven is generally more 300-350 degrees Fahrenheit (149-177 degrees Celsius) . However, a simmer oven thermostat is rated at 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) . It is important to note that the temperature for simmering may vary depending on the recipe and the type of food being cooked.
