At what setting on an electric stove do you simmer?

Answer 1

Usually the lowest, if the pot is covered

Answer 2

On my stove it's a 3 but just keep an eye on it and make sure you have a few small bubbles breaking the surface but not a boil. Once you get it there and maintain it a few times you'll know the setting for your stove... they're all a little different.

Answer 3

Don't use high for two reasons. You might have a kitchen full of smoke and also the outer layer will be tough and rubbery because it will cook too fast. Start on 7 or 8.... brown for about a minute on each side, just long enough to give it a light brown color and seal in the juices. You may need to turn it down to 6 or 5, depending on your cook top.

Answer 4
