It means verry sloowly bring the creme to a simmer in your sauce pan. That means, don't turn your eye much past medium low.

Put the cream in a pot or a pan (whatever the recipe calls for - if it doesn't call for anything in particular, either works just fine).
Turn the heat on about medium (if the recipe says what tempreture to turn the heat to, of course, go with that).
Stir the cream every now and then to make sure it's heating up evenly. Sooner or later, the cream will start to bubble a bit. When it starts to bubble, it's simmering, which means you have successfully brought the cream to a simmer. :)

Place your cream in a heavy saucepan over medium low heat and let it warm until small (tiny) bubbles form around the edge. At this point it is simmering. Higher heat can cause it to burn as can a thin saucepan. Don't worry if a "skin" forms over the cream, this is a natural occurrence.

it sounds perverted.. naah. it means heat the cream on a medium heat untuill it has a simmer.. not a full rolling boil. you want it to be just hot enough to be steaming, and you should see *small* bubbles.

Put cream in sauce pan. Warm slowly until a slow boil (little bubbles)--then turn it low to keep the little bubbles.

Make the cream just hot enough that little bubbles form around the edge of the pan, and steam rises. Any hotter and it starts to burn and make a skin that is gross.

cook the cream on the stove, in a saucepan...when it has little bubbles (not the big bubbles that are boiling) it is simmering.

cooking in a sauce pan or pot so you can just see small bubble rising to top.
if there are no bubbles, it is not a simmer...if there are big bubble or a lot of bubbles, that is boiling

Bring it to a VERY slow boil. It should be VERY slightly bubbling.
Be careful that you don't BURN it!!! Stir it and keep a close eye on it if you aren't sure what you're doing.

Heat it over gentle heat (probably a double boiler would be best) until it is just starting to bubble up gently.
