In traditional Dutch and Flemish cuisine, less tender cuts of [[beef]] are simmered for several hours to obtain [[carbonade flamande]]. Traditionally a small flame is used, fed by burning oil, or a very low gas flame on a cooker. A [[Cast-iron cookware|cast iron]] pan with a thick bottom  is often used in many countries. The meat is ready if it can be easily torn apart into threads.<ref>{{cite web | title=Stoven|language=nl|publisher=Vlaams Centrum voor Agro- en Visserijmarketing|year=2012 | url=http://www.vlees.be/Stoven | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302074739/http://www.vlees.be/Stoven | archive-date=2 March 2012 | url-status=dead}}</ref>

=== Persian cuisine ===
Simmering is one of the most popular styles of cooking in Iran and Afghanistan. In traditional [[Persian cuisine]], almost all types of Persian [[khoresh]] are simmered for several hours. That is also the case with some other Iranian dishes like [[abgoosht]], [[bozbash]], etc.

=== Jewish cuisine ===
Simmering is the main cooking technique used in [[Sabbath stew|Shabbat stews]] because by [[Jewish law]] the procedure of cooking is forbidden on [[Shabbat]], from Friday evening to Saturday evening.  Almost every Jewish diaspora group has different versions of sabbath stews, with the common practice of bringing to the boil before Sabbath begins and then keeping the pot on a [[blech]] covering the heat source, or other device, to heat the food.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Marks |first=Gil |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gFK_yx7Ps7cC&q=encyclopedia+of+jewish+food+gil+marks |title=Encyclopedia of Jewish Food |date=2010-11-17 |publisher=HMH |isbn=978-0-544-18631-6 |language=en}}</ref> Many Shabbat dishes are simmered overnight, without intervention from the cook, to conform to Jewish law.
