Eggs
For coddled eggs cooked in shell in boiled water, see boiled egg.

In cooking, coddled eggs are

boiling temperature. They can be partially cooked, mostly cooked, or hardly cooked at all (as in the eggs used to make Caesar salad dressing, which is only slightly poached for a thicker end-product). Poached eggs
are similar to coddled eggs but cooked by submersion in water, rather than being placed in a water bath.

Method

The egg is broken into an egg coddler, porcelain cup or ramekin with a lid, and cooked using a bain-marie. The inside of the egg coddler is first buttered to flavor the egg and allow it to be removed more easily. A raw egg (sometimes with additional flavorings) is broken into the coddler, which is then placed in a pan of near-boiling water for 7 to 8 minutes to achieve a solid white and runny yolk.

Manufacture

Coddlers may have been manufactured by Royal Worcester[1] since at least the 1890s. Many companies[2] now make egg coddlers, some of which are collectors' items.

Possible risks

In the United States, eggs have around a 1 in 30,000 risk of exposure to salmonella and other bacteria.[3][4][5] Using fresh eggs that have been washed and kept refrigerated, or pasteurized eggs is recommended to minimize the risk. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, eggs should be cooked until both the white and the yolk are firm,[6] and the water temperature should be 74–82 °C (165–180 °F).[7] Children, the elderly, and persons with compromised immune systems are advised against eating lightly cooked eggs because of the risk of exposure to salmonella infection.

In the UK, according to the

NHS, raw or lightly cooked eggs bearing the lion mark can be safely eaten by pregnant women, infants and children, and the elderly.[8]
