What is the difference between boiling and simmering?

Boiling is food cooked in liquid that is at or just below the boiling point of water (212ºF, 100ºC, depending on altitude as altitude variables change the temperature required for water to boil). Simmering is food cooked in liquid that is below the boiling point of water, but higher than poaching temperature. To keep a pot simmering, bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a point where the formation of steam bubbles has all but ceased, usually a water temperature of around 200ºF, 94ºC (this temperature also varies as well).
