How can I properly simmer on an electric stove?

To properly simmer on an electric stove, start by bringing your food to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Keep the temperature low enough that you see small bubbles breaking the surface of the liquid, but it should not be boiling vigorously. Cover the pot with a lid to trap the heat and maintain a consistent temperature. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and check the food periodically to ensure it is simmering properly.
