Additional information : How-tos
Keep liquid at gentle simmer (160 to 180°F/71 to 82°C). With higher heat, the agitation of the bubbles can damage delicate foods.
Be sure not to boil poaching liquid; cooking in it may overcook food, drying it out.
Strain and save the court bouillon to use as a tasty base for soup or in other dishes.
