To simmer means to bring a liquid to a temperature that is just below the boiling point â somewhere between 185Â°F (85Â°C) and 205Â°F (96Â°C). The boiling point of liquid in cooking is approximately 212Â°F (100Â°C). 2. Set the heat to medium-low for a gradual simmer.
Although most deserts, such as the Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Australia, occur at low latitudes, another kind of desert, cold deserts, occur in the basin and range area of Utah and Nevada and in parts of western Asia.lthough most deserts, such as the Sahara of North Africa and the deserts of the southwestern U.S., Mexico, and Australia, occur at low latitudes, another kind of desert, cold deserts, occur in the basin and range area of Utah and Nevada and in parts of western Asia.
Some deserts, however, are located on the west coasts of continents, such as the Namib in Africa, or the Atacama in Chile, forming coastal fog-deserts whose aridity is the result of cold oceanic currents.The deserts of the world occur in six global bio-geographical realms:frotropic deserts are found in the sub-Saharan part of Africa, and in the southern fringe of the Arabian Peninsula. Pressures on the ecosystem from humans are relatively high, especially in the Horn of Africa and Madagascar.
