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?

    Simmer is just below bubbles I was taught! I made chicken stock from bones, used my thermometer that was calibrated so I know was working, also got around 204 and the surface just sort of glistens. No bubbles on the surface though!

      Well that’s a relief to hear I didn’t waste 6 hours of simmering time. Appreciate the first hand experience!
