Dude. I can explain "boiling" to you. Don't listen to Mikey. He doesn't know shit about cooking.

-----

From The Art and Sophistry of Cooking by Alonso Ximenez, p.845, translated from his native Portuguese...

The myth of "boiling", perpetuated by the French, is a culinary burden akin to the historic Dance of the 1000 Infantile Carp performed twice yearly at Guimarães to commemorate the Battle of São Mamede; a useless and barbaric custom.

Accurate water temperature measurements should be taken no nu, in a process known as the technique de sachet à thé, a French term undoubtedly but a technique certainly stolen by them, as is their want and predilection, during the 14th century. Obviously, women performing this measurement must use a surrogate.
