Sorry, but I don't think so. *Seethed* is "boiled", plain and simple. It can
mean boiled in water, or if the directions indicate, in oil (ie:
deep-fried). I think we can all agree that steeping has a markedly different
effect on food than boiling.

Confused yet? Give us the recipe, Stefan, so we can see the context. I feel
another "Challenge" coming on.  I double-dog dare you! Let's play with it!
