How do you use a simmer pot kit?

Just pour the contents into the mini Dutch oven (or leave them inside), add 1–2 cups of water, and simmer on the lowest heat. Add more water as it evaporates.

Can I reuse the ingredients?

Yes, most blends can be simmered 1–2 times. The scent will fade with each use, but adding fresh water helps bring it back to life.

Do I have to use a dutch oven?

No. A small saucepan works perfectly to simmer in, and you can gift in a mason jar. The dutch oven just makes it a beautiful and reusable gift.

How long do these kits last?

Because everything is dried, the kits can last up to a year when stored in a cool, dry place.

Is this safe to leave unattended?

No! Simmer pots should always be used while someone is home. Remind recipients to keep the heat low and watch the water level.
