No, simmer means to reduce the heat just enough so that the water in which you are boiling your food is no longer at a rolling boil, just one or two tiny bubbles are breaking the surface at a time, your food is then said to be 'simmering'

How do you boil eggs for Easter?

Hard boiled eggs are sometimes decorated for Easter eggs - to do this start with a pan filled with enough cold water to cover the eggs. Place the required quantity of eggs in the pan, bring pan to a gentle simmer (otherwise eggs bounce and the shells crack). Simmer for about 15 minutes, then drain eggs and leave to go cold before decorating them. that is correct but if i were you i would just buy Easter eggs! in stead

Stainless steel lid stuck to capahalon frying pan. Please advise how to remove lid.?

We had a stuck "glass cover lid" on a non-stick steel frying pan. We were frying hamburgers and tried to keep the grease from getting on our stove. We put the "glass cover lid" on the frying pan. Wrong move. We tried heating and cooling the "pan and cover" using many of the ideas on the Internet. Nothing worked. I finally got the "glass cover lid" off the "frying pan" by first cooling the "cover and pan" to room temperatures (I put the "cover and pan" in the refrigerator for a while after the cover and pan got to room temperature). I then put the pan on the stove and started heating up the bottom of the pan. At the same time that I am heating up the bottom of the pan, I am trying to pull off the cover. The steel pan started heating up. When the sides of the pan started to heat up, the cover poped off. The "glass cover lid" was still cool when the "glass cover lid" poped off. Some of the advice I saw before doing this was to put ice on the cover and heat the pan with hot water. I believed I created the same thing (i.e., expansion and contraction principle) using a different method. John Melin
