Where does this crap come from: "The term "simmering" was originally used by the Native Americans, coming from simero 'to bubble or froth'"? I've been looking for a while, and any source that supplies the same etymology sites wikipedia as its source (if there is a source). So, I'm just going to go ahead and remove it, as it is not sourced and I cannot find a source for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.194.200.141 (talk) 17:24, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your etymology of the word is not right. "Simmer" existed in English from at least the middle of the 17th century. As always, check the OED about English etymology.

Long-simmered Moroccan short ribs? This page needs a picture of simmering water, nothing else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.16.133 (talk) 14:29, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
