Codded Eggs


Recommended Posts

There are two methods of coddling eggs.[1] The first is to cook the egg in its shell, by immersing it in near-boiling water. This can be done either in a pan where the water is kept below boiling point, or by pouring boiling water over the egg and letting it stand for 10 minutes.

The second method is to break the egg in an egg coddler, porcelain cup or ramekin with a lid, and cook using a bain-marie. The inside of the egg coddler is first buttered in order 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.

Coddlers have been manufactured by Royal Worcester in Worcester, UK,[2] since at least the 1890s, and may have been invented there.[citation needed] Many companies[3] now make egg coddlers, some of which are collectors’ items.

Coddled eggs do not always reach temperatures required to sterilize potential contaminants/pathogens. In the United States, eggs have around a 1 in 30,000 risk of exposure to salmonella and other bacteria.[4][5][6] Using fresh eggs is recommended to minimize, or pasteurized eggs to remove 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,[7] and the water temperature should be 74–82 °C (165–180 °F).[8] 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.
