What Does Simmer Mean? Simmer is technically the heat that is just below the boiling point of the liquid. A simmer is reached within a pot on the stove when the liquid is hot and just has a bubble or two forming at a time and reaching the top of the liquid before popping.
Decide how much overhang you want from your tablecloth. For most purposes, an overhang or drop length of at least 6 inches (15cm) is appropriate. A shorter drop length may make the tablecloth look too small for the table.
Place the tablecloth in a clothes dryer along with several slightly moist bath towels. Set the dryer to a low-heat setting, then run it for a couple of minutes. If the wrinkles have released themselves, set the cloth on the table; otherwise, put it back in the dryer in one-minute spurts to ensure it doesn't get too hot.
