Comment on Is it normal for a simmer to not produce any bubbles?
TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 6 days agoThe problem with raising the temp is that I have an induction stove. It’s on the lowest setting now (L) and when I bump it up to the next setting (2) it is a full rolling boil even if I adjust the lid. There doesn’t seem to be any configuration to keep small consistent bubbles like the simmer setting on my old electric stove had.
I’ve measured the temp with my instant read as well as my leave in thermometer now and they do both say 203 but the zero bubbles is throwing me off.

I found with induction on low it would sit for some length of time then for a few seconds boil, then sit. Repeat. Didn’t seem to be a low power, it just made the period between energizing longer. Newer induction stoves are supposed to be better though. Have you tried a different sized pot to see if the change in thermal mass helps

It’s an ikea stove that came with the place so I’m not expecting the best quality or accuracy I guess. The broth is done and it’s late so I’ll have to give my smaller pot a try tomorrow. I should probably look into a better single burner induction plate that adjusts by the exact temperature in the future though.

Tried a smaller pot today and the temp was reading 200, completely still surface

It would be a good test to boil plain water and see if your thermometer reads 212°F

Just measured a rolling boil 212.9 so the thermometer ain’t lying I guess
