Why Use a Simmer Pot?
Just a few of my favorite benefits from using a simmer pot:
- Non-Toxic & All-Natural – No artificial fragrances, just pure natural goodness. SO important for me!
- Customizable – Switch up the ingredients based on what you have. Some days I want florals, other days I want some good vanilla.
- Budget-Friendly – Uses simple kitchen staples you already own. I will always try to save money where I can.
- Creates a Cozy Atmosphere – Instantly makes your home feel warm, fresh, and inviting. Even though my house was super messy, it instantly smelled good. It was the best!

A Few Tips
- Customize It! Add florals (like lavender or chamomile) or extra herbs (like thyme or mint) for a unique scent. I loved adding some lavender buds to mine.
- Reuse It! This simmer pot lasts 2-3 times—just add more water as needed. I got 3 good uses out of mine, just needed to refill the water.
- Use a Slow Cooker! If you don’t want to use the stove, add the ingredients to a small crockpot on low for an all-day scent. It works just the same!
