• Fill the pan with enough water, broth, or milk to cover the food completely.

• Add seasonings or aromatics (e.g., bay leaves, peppercorns, or herbs) to enhance flavor.

• Heat the liquid gently over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 160–180°F (71–82°C). The liquid should shimmer with small bubbles but not boil.

• Carefully add the food (e.g., eggs, chicken, or fish) to the liquid using a slotted spoon or tongs.

• Maintain the temperature to keep the liquid at a gentle simmer.

• Cover the pan partially to retain heat and moisture if needed.

• Cook the food until it is tender and cooked through.

• Remove the food with a slotted spoon and drain excess liquid.

• Serve immediately or transfer to a serving dish.

• Step 1: Allow the pan to cool before cleaning to avoid warping.

• Step 2: Pour out the cooking liquid and rinse the pan with warm water.

• Step 3: Wash the pan with a non-abrasive sponge and dish soap to remove residue.

• Step 4: Rinse thoroughly and dry with a towel to prevent water spots.
