I don't know about simmering cane - never tried it but it seems extreme - but i like to soak cane in the hottest water I can get from the tap. Then just before shaping or wrapping I refresh the hot water and let the cane warm for a couple of minutes.
When you let your reeds sit overnight before adjusting them, the cane dries out. You can fold time and speed the process by parking your reed next to the bulb of your reed lamp, where it is nice and warm. The reed will dry out thoroughly in 10 - 15 minutes and can be treated as if it's the next day.
I learned this trick from a colleague named Bob O'Boyle from (I think) the Chicago area. If any of you know where Bob is these days please let me know or give him my email addy. Thanks...
