I’m simmering some chicken bones right now and google says a simmer temp is between 180-205. My instant-read thermometer is registering 203 but there is zero bubbling, is my thermometer off or is this normal?

    Simmering without bubbles means one of these four:

    • You’re measuring in Kelvin
    • No water and only grease
    • Temperature is lower than what you’re actually measuring
    • Ambient pressure is too high. (You’re not in a diving bell, are you?)

    Your temperature measurement is probably off. Either that, or the water evaporated long ago and you’re now only heating the grease.

      There’s still about 2 litres of water in there. I am currently not in a submarine. I should call the Mythbusters.
