Since you have many years experience would you be able to tell me how to get the whites cooked and yolk soft or runny? Im cooking it like above but for much longer. By the time the whites are cooked so is the yolk. Any savy tips would be helpful to help me out on what I am doing wrong? The egg coddler goes into rolling boiling water and water up to where the rim begins. Her egg in this video looked right on. But not what i got going on.
Found this out trying to buy one online and they were so expensive, my dad managed to get me a gorgeous large one by Aynsley it’s so pretty im almost afraid to use it! Got it for a steal though at £10 couldn’t find one similar online for less than £25
I just picked up a really pretty Royal Worcester egg coddler today at a thrift store. $2.39 so I couldn’t beat that! I can’t wait to try it for tomorrow’s breakfast!
I've just acquired a pair from my local Red Cross Charity Shop, Royal Worcester Blackberry design identical to yours Cathie. I had no idea what they were, thinking they were fancy egg cups, until the lady at the counter said they were egg coddlers. I'm looking forward to using them on a regular basis after watching your excellent video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this tutorial, Cathie. I'd heard of coddled eggs but didn't know what they were or how to make them. It was also interesting to learn that coddlers come in two sizes.
Well, bless your heart! I've seen egg coddlers @ Goodwill, etc. & didn't know what they were for, then found 2 packed away in Grandma's things & still didn't know what they were for...now I know! I love soft-boiled eggs, & this looks like a less messy way to get the same great taste. Thank you for sharing your expertise!
I've had a pair from my grandmother for about 13 years now and I have never used them. I'll be digging them out today, thanks so much for inspiring me to try something new! Well...new to me, lol!
Well we live to learn. I have one of these from a charity shop and I have been using it to keep my coconut oil in for cosmetic purposes. Its time to correct my lack of understanding. What a sweet kitchen tool. Thank you
I saw a type of these egg coddlers used on an episode of Escape to the Chateau. I tried it with a coffee cup but now want the real thing. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for your video, I found two when we cleared mum's house ( both Lavinia ) and wondered what they were, I looked on Royal Worcester to see what they were, and now I know what to use them for thank you so much. PS I liked the bit "I'm pointing to the counter"
I have used my coddlers for 20 years. In our family we like to make them with a little cream and cheddar cheese. Put cheese in bottom and on top of egg. Martha Stewart had an article about them about 15 years ago.
Glad you found it helpful. Coddled eggs are among my favorite breakfast dishes My husband wanted to shoot it over, but I told him leaving that part in would give folks a bit of a giggle.
Just bought 4 4oz baby food in glass jars to make these coddled eggs for breakfast. Little over 50 cents per jar. Hope it works, never had these eggs before.
Very pretty coddlers! I also collect egg coddlers and have some in different patterns but by the same manufacturer to yours but most of mine are clear glass coddlers made by Pyrex in the 1930's, McKee Bros. around 1917, some French made Pyrex ones and German Jenaer Glass coddlers. I like to crack the egg into a measuring cup with a spout which makes it easier to pour the egg into the coddler with no spills. Your egg is cooked to perfection! I love to add a tiny bit of butter or about 2 tsps. of half and half and some crumbled crisp bacon on top of the egg.....yum!! I also love to toast a slice of homemade sourdough bread then cut it into strips to dip into that yummy, runny, beautiful bright yellow yolk from eggs laid by one of the hens from my backyard flock. Lovely video...thank you!
I nearly bought one of these Royal Worcester egg coddlers out of a charity shop, but as I thought it was a mustard pot I didn't bother, next time I see one, I will buy it, can't wait to try coddled eggs, thanks for your video and the eggs you cooked looked delicious!
Thank you so much. I'v seen coddlers in the store and had no idea how to use them until seeing your video. Great explanation. Hoping you shared the second egg with the excellent cameraman!
"I'm pointing over to the counter..." haha! Thank you for the video! I recently found a beautiful egg coddler at my grandmother's after she passed and I was wondering how to use it.
My husband is an antique dealer, and we see these often as we scour yard sales and auctions, and when he does estate clean-outs. Often with the clean-outs, the owners don't want much of anything anymore except for some furniture, sentimental things, and ephemera, as many are on their way to retirement homes, or to live in smaller homes or with their children. We donate items that won't bring them much money to various places like women's shelters and half-way houses (I think they call it 'transitional living') and longer-term homeless shelters. I've seen so many of these coddlers, and I never labeled them, simply donated them trusting that whomever was the recipient would know how to use them...because all I knew that you put eggs in them and cooked them, but not whether it was in the oven or stovetop or microwave! (Most of these were by Fire-King/Anchor-Hocking, so were safe for use in the oven and microwave!) I found your video because I was thinking of using them soon. Today was what felt to me like the first "real" day of autumn, with 40mph wind gusts and chillier temperatures (Yesterday the temps dropped from the high 70's to the low 50's, and that's BEFORE the wind chill!) and when it's cooler, cooking is so much more fun for me. So I would really like to say "Thank you!" for your very clear description of how to use them! The next time I donate any, I will not only label them with the pattern and maker and age, but I'll also put in the directions, in case they aren't sure like I was! Take care and thank you again!
Great video thanks. I just bought 4 Royal Worcester egg coddlers on eBay for $15.50. Three with peaches and blackberries and one with birds. I like your method with butter, salt and pepper and the 5 minute egg looked just about the way I like my eggs. Off to the kitchen to try it out.
Tee hee ... loving your sweatshirt. very helpful tips on cooking with coddlers. Bet few folks nowadays have heard of such useful cute pots - even their name sounds old-fashioned, doesn't it ?
Interesting! I had a modern "egg poacher" pan that I now believe may have been a style if coddler. It had a tray that held four small cups for steaming. I wonder if they make glass coddlers, that would be a cool visual.
They do - I think it was Food52 I saw them on. If that isn’t successful, Amazon (& others) has jars called Weck Jars - clear and with tops that clip on. I’m sure they’d be great as long as you get the right size, and the advantage of seeing if the egg is done seems like a big one.
If you crack the egg and mix it up does it make kind of like a scrambled egg? If you cook the egg without breaking the yoke for a longer period of time will it make like a hard boiled egg?
Cathie, When do you start counting your 5 minutes? When you put them in the water, or when it first starts to boil? And does it make a difference whether the eggs come out of the frog or are at room temp when you start? I have a glass microwavable coddler I got in Germany and it is cracked and I can't find another one. I put aged Gouda cheese and tabasco in the bottom, then the egg, then more cheese and tabasco. To die for!. With the glass coddler, you can see whether they are done to your liking or not.
Mine are directly from the refrigerator. Generally, I bring the water to a boil, then lower the coddlers into the boiling water. Otherwise, I start timing when the water comes to a boil. I'm going to have to try your recipe. It sounds delicious!
Your question is 3 years old, but if someone else wants to know: there’s a glass coddler called a Jenaer - www.google.com/search?q=glass+egg+coddler&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari Varying prices Also, I’m pretty certain weck jars with clip-on tops would work.
Six minutes and you get a runny yoke. Eight minutes if you want the yoke cooked. Seven if you want it half-way which is pretty freaking awesome. Got two coddlers as a gift. Thought it was a joke til I tried using them and found what they do to an egg. MMMMM. Tasty.
The sure are! I LOVE coddled eggs! It's true, of course, it takes a bit of trial and error to find your perfect cooking time. Glad to hear you've found yours. :)
My sister was looking for one in the second hands stores, i didnt know what they looked like. Anyways i bought a coddler for my toothpick, not knowing what it was till my sister showed me hers. Funny i had one all that time hahaha
Thank you. I just purchased 6 Royal Worcesster egg coddlers (large and small) without knowing what they were. :) I can't wait to clean them up and cook some eggs. :)
Just salt and pepper and a spot of butter. No ham, bacon, onion - I watched a video showing a realm mash up- and they BROKE THE EGGS! 😳Sacrilege! We always had coddled eggs when we were poorly as children, here in England, in the 19t0s.
Never heard of coddled eggs before. My friend told me about them this morning, your video was the first one that popped up about how to use them. thanks so much. I do have one question though...do you put them into a rolling boil for 5 minutes? or do you stand them into cold water, and let it warm up whilst it boils then time for 5 minutes once it reaches boiling point?
I prefer to bring the water to a boil and then lower the coddlers in. It would work if you started with cold water although the timing would be a bit different. Have fun and happy coddling!
@dalecalder2003 Could be. Or maybe a difference in ranges, or the saucepans, or the moon is full...LOL Seriously, I'm very happy to hear that you're enjoying coddled eggs. I envy you your coop!
I inherited two egg coddlers. I tried them ; it makes wonderful eggs, however there is a strange blue-green liquid coming out of the metal ring which looks rather toxic that spoils the egg. Does anyone knows what it can be ? copper ? I don't dare using them anymore.
Thanks for this - I inherited two standard egg coddlers from my Grandad thirty years ago - like the ones you have with the pink flowers - and then I bought two larger ones a bit later. Useful tip about not using the ring to screw the top on and off - still trying to work out my perfect time. Can you use spray oil instead of butter or margarine?
What a great video! My grandma gave me a pair of Royal Worchester coddlers that look just like yours! Sadly, she has now passed away, but I'm so glad your for your video! I will try using my coddlers (without Grandma's help) for the first time this morning :) Thank you! (My coddlers have a peach on one side and two purple and one pink blackberries (maybe raspberries?) on the other side. I'd love to know the name!)
How am I just now learning about these nifty devices? I can't tell you how many eggs I microwaved in a teacup, starting and stopping it every few seconds and switching between 50% and full power in an attempt to get it cooked right, only to usually over or undercook it. I am totally going to order myself a couple of egg coddlers now :)
@CathieHeath eBay can be very addicting LOL> The eggs were wonderful I have my own hens so they were fresh from the coop too. I have had them twice now and decided I like them done between 7 and 8 minutes which makes them look like your 5 minute eggs, could be the difference in altitude or something, I suppose.
I have coddlers for one egg, two eggs, and 4 eggs. Do you recommend doing them separately in the one egg coddler or do they come out just as well when multiplied? If so, any tips on doing more than one?
I've found that multiplying them is fine, but you will likely need to adjust your cooking time. How long you cook them, however, is a matter of personal taste along with some trial and error.
@dalecalder2003 Glad it helped you out. You got a GREAT price on those! Congratulations!! I've had to swear off Ebay for awhile...I always find several that I get in to bidding wars over! LOL How'd your eggs turn out, by the way?
Hi Cathie, just bought one of these only to find there is a small crack ( doesn't feel too deep) it's near the rim. I am a bit dissapointed, however, in your honest opinion is it safe to use ( think it's the Bournemouth Rose)...Thx
I’m the kind of person who would go ahead and use it till it had a distinctly dangerous look to it. On the other hand, if I were advising someone else, I’d say don’t take a chance. 😏 I’ve seen them used for toothpick holders, and pretty sure it would also be entirely safe as a salt cellar.
Coddled eggs are much more than boiled eggs. You can put all kinds of different ingredients in the coddler with the raw egg. Butter, crumbled bacon, bits of ham, shredded cheese, snipped chives...the list is endless depending on your tastes. This video was meant to show the basics of egg coddling. Hope you're inspired to try coddling some eggs someday.
@@CatherineHeath Oh, sorry, I should have said "coddle" instead of "poach". I'm still curious as to what would happen if I tried to coddle an egg without the lid. I may have to give it a try even if i end up wasting an egg : )
@@keppela1 It wouldn't hurt to try. Perhaps putting some foil securely on the top? Not sure, but as you said the worst that can happen is an egg may be wasted. Again...good luck! :)
+steve720720 One difference is that, as wonderful as eggs cooked within their shells can be, you can't add anything to them inside there. Then too, if you have use for egg shell that has not been cooked (as, for instance, in coffee grounds, or to be finely ground and ingested for calcium), this allows those shells to be used.
+Erk “Gloomeon” Gloom it's by Kevin McLeod. He has lots of music to use for videos, etc. on his site (or did when I made this video). All he asked for was to give him credit for the music (which I did) :)
Ох и любят англичане выпендриться. Мы делаем то же самое просто в скорлупе, как в общем то и они всегда это делали, пока не придумали эти кодлеры. Просто следи за процессом: 3-4 минуты - в смятку, 5-6 минут - в крутую ... и всё!
Why does it take so long to show how to cook these type of eggs and also why show the faces, focus on the actual process of cooking. AND why use thousands of words when a lot fewer would suffice? A lot of editing us required, me thinks!
Thank you, I've had the same egg coddled you have and have forgotten how to use them. I'll be enjoying my breakfast now. Thanks again.
As a Brit of advanced years I've been into coddling for many years. Coddlers are very collectable and a beautiful way to prepare eggs.

I've never seen this before. Guess it's an alternative to eating the soft-boiled egg out of the shell.
Yes, absolutely! And even better cause you can add bits of cheese, sausage, etc. to the coddler and make them even tastier.

love coddled eggs, though they remind me of my grandmother.
Hi Cathie, just bought one of these only to find there is a small crack ( doesn't feel too deep) it's near the rim. I am a bit dissapointed, however, in your honest opinion is it safe to use ( think it's the Bournemouth Rose)...Thx
I’m the kind of person who would go ahead and use it till it had a distinctly dangerous look to it. On the other hand, if I were advising someone else, I’d say don’t take a chance. 😏 I’ve seen them used for toothpick holders, and pretty sure it would also be entirely safe as a salt cellar.
How long do you boil the eggs in the larger coddler?
It depends on how you like your eggs. I would start with 8 minutes so the yolk is still a bit runny, but you might like yours a bit more firm.
+Catherine Heath Thank you! Yes, eight minutes worked well for me. Yum!
+Theresa Jones So glad to hear that! And Yum is right...I LOVE my coddled eggs!!
Was it 5 min. from the time you turned on the burner, or 5 min. after it started to boil? You don’t ever lower to a simmer, right?
5 Minutes from boiling, and I keep it at medium boil.
@@CatherineHeath Thank you!
Can you get them out without breaking the eggs ?
I generally eat them right out of the coddler.
Why not just boil the egg in its shell?
Coddled eggs are much more than boiled eggs. You can put all kinds of different ingredients in the coddler with the raw egg. Butter, crumbled bacon, bits of ham, shredded cheese, snipped chives...the list is endless depending on your tastes. This video was meant to show the basics of egg coddling. Hope you're inspired to try coddling some eggs someday.
I inherited a coddler without a lid. Can you poach an egg if the coddler isn't covered?
Honestly not sure about poaching. But there's a difference between poached eggs and coddled eggs. You'd need the lid to coddle them. Good luck!
@@CatherineHeath Oh, sorry, I should have said "coddle" instead of "poach". I'm still curious as to what would happen if I tried to coddle an egg without the lid. I may have to give it a try even if i end up wasting an egg : )
@@keppela1 It wouldn't hurt to try. Perhaps putting some foil securely on the top? Not sure, but as you said the worst that can happen is an egg may be wasted. Again...good luck! :)
Какие красивые кодлелы!!! Супер
DO you start timing once the water comes to a boil or when you turn on the heat or...?
I lower them into boiling water just up to the threads and begin timing immediately.
Thanks for letting us know how they were used. Hire a new camera man, though. lol
Please tell me how to get some of these egg coddles I want 6. Please let me know.
Debbie Davis They're for sale on eBay.
I got most of mine on Ebay. Two of them were a gift from a friend who knew I collected them.
my eggs come already packed into coddlers......its called the shell......whats the difference? i dont get it
steve720720 Fine !
+steve720720 One difference is that, as wonderful as eggs cooked within their shells can be, you can't add anything to them inside there. Then too, if you have use for egg shell that has not been cooked (as, for instance, in coffee grounds, or to be finely ground and ingested for calcium), this allows those shells to be used.
Ream?
It was just a boiled egg in a fancy shell don't get it
As an Englishman the worst thing about boiled eggs and soldiers is cutting off the top and broken eggshells in what your eating.
Cream?
Браво...
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😍
Thank you
what's the music you used at the end? it sounds neat!
+Erk “Gloomeon” Gloom it's by Kevin McLeod. He has lots of music to use for videos, etc. on his site (or did when I made this video). All he asked for was to give him credit for the music (which I did) :)
Over cooked if your purist! coddled eggs should be runny
Ох и любят англичане выпендриться. Мы делаем то же самое просто в скорлупе, как в общем то и они всегда это делали, пока не придумали эти кодлеры. Просто следи за процессом: 3-4 минуты - в смятку, 5-6 минут - в крутую ... и всё!
Being English , there is a saying “ There is more than one way to skin a cat “.
Брава,бабии,брава!
Such a shrill background noise makes it impossible to watch
Rub the butter with yer grubby fingers?
Messy, lady. Ugh
People have surely gotten precious.
Why does it take so long to show how to cook these type of eggs and also why show the faces, focus on the actual process of cooking. AND why use thousands of words when a lot fewer would suffice? A lot of editing us required, me thinks!
Хуя-се я забрёл в самолёт ...
