I think so, I’ve used the back left tiny burner to simmer. I found the 1 setting is too low, but the 2/3 setting worked for a slower summer. But that was for a smaller pot. I’ve used the right side burners on 1-2 fir low simmers in medium size pots and pans and the power burner for my giant sauce pan. Let me know what you think.

There are 10 numbers for the value on the dial for the burner. We have found the lowest numbers (1-2) work quite well for simmering without overdoing it.

Hi Chip - The left rear burner is a 5,000 BTU precise simmer burner. The simmer
burner turned down to LO provides precise cooking performance for foods such as delicate sauces that require low heat for a long cooking time. If burner flames are very large or yellow and connected to LP, contact the technician who installed your range.  If you need further assistance, you can schedule an appointment online at GEAppliances.com/service or call 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) - Keep in touch! Sue
