What Does Simmer Mean? Simmer is technically the heat that is just below the boiling point of the liquid. A simmer is reached within a pot on the stove when the liquid is hot and just has a bubble or two forming at a time and reaching the top of the liquid before popping.
Decide how much overhang you want from your tablecloth. For most purposes, an overhang or drop length of at least 6 inches (15cm) is appropriate. A shorter drop length may make the tablecloth look too small for the table.
How long have the leftovers been sitting out on the table or counter?

Do it no matter how good it still looks.
