There's a Lot More To Boiling Foods Than You Think

Moist Cooking Techniques

So not only will you find articles for boiling and the stages of boiling here, you'll also find my articles and posts about other moist heat cooking methods such as poaching, simmering and blanching.  And when you get right down to it, even a braise or stew is made at a simmer.

I think it's time we get away from using the generic term "boil" for cooking foods in hot water and get more specific.  If we all understand the terminology and the differences among the techniques, there will be less confusion in the kitchen, not to mention fewer kitchen disasters.
