How to fuck do you "simmer" something?
I can boil water easily, but whenever I try to reduce the heat and bring it to a simmer there ends up being no bubbles forming at all, so I increase the heat by just a little, and then suddenly it's at a full rolling boil again. How do I get to that midway point of just a few bubbles forming randomly? Is there a consistent trick? I keep fucking shit up because they boil longer than they're meant to
