- Hey everybody! Thanks for stopping by again. My wife brought this egg coddler gadget home from the Goodwill to sell online, but she decided to keep it and asked me to make it work. Let's see what it does. If you are interested you can find yours online at the links below. Come back for more videos. Thanks....Big Dave!

I found this exact set out on a curb in Seattle a month ago with a free sign. I grew up eating coddled eggs from these little ceramic cups and grabbed them and shouted, "Thank you Lord!! Wohoooo!!"
But these are not for boiling eggs. They are for a runny yolk, poached-type egg. You do like you said, butter the inside, drop the egg, put the dish in the boiling water, cover, drop the temp to warm, cover, wait about 2-3 minutes and done. Now, obviously, if you need your yolk cooked more like a hard boiled egg, go longer and hotter. But neither grandma nor mom ever used these for a boiled egg type. Old school depression era midwest chicken farmers:)) But, I bet you are thanking your wife for her great find at Goodwill:)))) These are definitely collectibles and even used, they don't come cheap...unless the good Lord puts them out on a curb for you to walk by:))))))))))))))))))
Hi Shamanbear Two. Sorry for the late response. But yes, I’m thanking my wife for these. I might make some this weekend. Reading your comment makes my mouth water for them. You sound like a pro at cooking these!
Shamanbear Two perfect! However, don't forget the toast soldiers. :-)
@@daveskitchengadgets7311 I absolutely love coddled eggs and I see that you do also. As Shamanbear mentioned, you might think about cooking them a little less getting a softer yolk. Also, to get the most out of your coddled egg experience, look up how to make "toast soldiers" you will be in heaven. :-)
If you can find one of the double size ones they are great for putting two eggs in, some baby spinach, and some back bacon (you might call it canadian bacon) and boil for about 5/6 mins as a runny yolk is amazing and just adds that nice glaze over everything.
Also just for future reference its Royal Wuss-ter (its often over pronounced) and for the sauce its wuss-ter-sher :)
Sold that as a teenager in Fenwicks 🥰
I think it is for soft boiling eggs. I don't see the advantage to hard boiling them, as opposed to the egg shell
agree, boiled it for too long, for a softer yolk I feel
Interesting. Smart wife :D
Great video Dave. I have been doing coddled eggs for decades now. However we need to find a better description than "kitchen gadget". Coddlers are like artwork in my opinion and deserve more respect than being put in the same category as the "Slap Chop". But for the life of me I am not sure what to call it. Maybe something like covered ramekin. Coddlers are also used to make custard type deserts since it is a gentle way of cooking. Nice find at Goodwill.
Thanks for the comment. I was at a lost for what to call the coddlers, but what I do know is they are good. And you would know since you’ve been enjoying them for years...I’m late to the game.
Can’t believe you found that beautiful set at a thrift store. I got mine on eBay. It was fun shopping all the different patterns. I love the ones you had. Just got on eBay for my mom. I have them in the pot and patiently waiting.
Those are really used for SOFT boiled eggs. 3-5 mins in simmering water tops. Some people put a little cream on top to cook. I eat them by dipping toast in. 😊
Thank you! I just got one and came here to see how to use it! Looks like a great idea :)
Thank you for your video. I just found one at my local goodwill. I plan on trying this tomorrow morning.
I just found one at a consignment store. So I looked up his to use it and thanks to you in doing it!!!!
I’ve read lots of instructions for these, and they almost always say (when you have the coddler with the metal ring on top) do *not* twist the top off with that ring on top - instead, grab the band and twist it off.
I assume the ring is easily breakable or bendable. I’ve never seen an explanation of why it’s important.
The ring is to retrieve the coddler with a fork…
@@Glennneko oh, clever!
The little loop on top of the coddler is to grab the submerged in boiling water coddler with a fork.
I just saw someone put a little layer of milk over the top of the egg, as if it is customary (England).
Im in England and no not customary to do that, some do it with cream and mushroom but never really seen milk used, the people I know who do eat coddled eggs is mostly seasoned with a bit of cheese or with some baby spinach and bacon in, usually eaten with toast points or asparagus spears if a runny yolk :)
Excellent Video Dave just bought Two Coddlers Today. In My Local charity Shop In Scotland.Thank You
Tay Man Dang!!! Tay Man, way to go bro. I’m sure you will enjoy it. It cooks the eggs so nicely. Try adding bacon bits , cheese, diced onions to it also. And the trick is cooking it for the time needed to get the eggs how you like them. I like mine almost well done and others like theirs a little softer. 👍🏿
@@daveskitchengadgets7311 Thanks Dave I will try your Recipe
Thank you! I picked a set up years ago. I had no idea what they were
Hi Sarah. I had mine for a few years too. It’s a nice treat when you want your eggs cooked a little different. Enjoy them.
Great video, but a little bit overcooked to my liking. Try to add a little bit of sliced up ham too with the cheese-is absolutely delicious.
What I like is that it keeps the egg warm because of the ceramic. Eggs always get cold way too fast for me
LOVE this. Just found a set yesterday at a thrift store and on the suggestion of a lovely older lady, I bought them... had to see how to use them though and what a GREAT video - your voice and presentation was so helpful and just so sweet! Thank you. :)
Fantastic tutorial, Dave! I see these beautiful coddlers all the time at different shoppes and always felt sort of intimidated by them, lol-I’ll give it try now!! Thank you! :)
I love this video. I just found four of these and can’t wait to do this. :) Thank you for your video!
Thank you!! I just bought two of these at Goodwill and am so excited!
Hey Tiffany. Glad you picked up a pair! They really do give the eggs a slightly different taste and texture. Let us know what you think about them if you coddle them 👍🏽
@@daveskitchengadgets7311 I just finished cleaning them up and will be trying them out this weekend. Thanks for the reply! Also, my husband and I both subscribed! We hope you continue to do more videos because we really liked that you give real, honest opinions ❤️
@@tiffanyhusar1385 thank you and your husband for subscribing. Don’t forget to let me know what you think of them. Hopefully you two like them as much as I did. I’m going to try to get back to making videos....I’ve just been super busy. Thanks for commenting. Appreciate it.
Just found one at the thrift store, now I can use it, thanks for the "how to"!
Thanks for the video, I just had a couple of coddled eggs for the first time, they were delicious and the container stayed nice and warm!
Aren’t they good? You would think how could eggs taste any different, but they do taste different when coddled. Glad you enjoyed them.
This was a helpful video! I bought one also at Goodwill and I had no idea how to use this. Thank you.
Lee Kasten Hello Lee, thanks for dropping by and for subscribing. I really enjoy the way that it coddler prepares the egg and I’m glad I was able to help you out on the use of the beautiful and classic item. If you get a chance to use the Your egg coddler let me know what you think of the texture of the egg after its prepared. Thanks, Lee
Dave.
Im gonna do try mine out right now! Nice presentation. Really enjoyed it.
Thanks! Did you get a chance to try yours?
I still have the old family set of the very same coddlers. Was always a treat getting coddled eggs for supper as a child. They're basically a smaller, self contained version of the French way of making ouefs en cocotte. If doing the French version in ramekins you have a bit more space to add a multitude of other ingredients like ham, cheese, cream, diced tomatoes...etc.
It's a coddled egg, I think you called it a collared egg. But anyway, you did a great job of cooking it. Very good informative video. Thanks
Great video. Even without knowing how the eggs turned out, I would've grabbed those coddlers too - and I didn't even know that's what they were. They are unique and very pretty! Your wife has good taste. =) I absolutely love the backsplash in your kitchen too! But I also wanted to say, those egg coddlers sell for 25 euros and sometimes 50 for a set of 2, here in Europe. They are vintage and that type aren't made anymore. According to British tradition (they are British made), you immerse the entire thing in boiling water (not just to the rim). Usually cook 6 minutes for a runny yolk but can be cooked to hard boiled - it's in all the British recipes for those items.
Such an enjoyable video! I need to buy an Egg Coddler! Dave, you are enjoyable and fun to watch!
Go to John Lewis if you in England.You will get a cool looking one for just £10 and it will hold two eggs.Please not they come in two sizes for one and two eggs.
The larger ones are great for duck eggs.
Excellent video, Dave. Been using these for years...just so you know...its pronounced "wus-ter"...we Yanks get confused with Worcester (notice no "h" in there) and Leicester ("lester")...Again, thanks for the vid! Cheers :-)
Terrific video! Really enjoyed it and clearly those eggs were good!! Thank you for showing us another way to do eggs!
Great video! I’ve had one of these gadgets in my cabinet for decades and never knew what to do with it. Got curious today and stumbled on your video. Thanks! (Love your backsplash!)
Love this video. Bought some off of etsy and eBay and have been learning how to use these. Enjoyed his very informal how to use these video. Not only interesting but fun! Something a little unusual to try.
Nice find, the wife did good!
Glad I found your tutorial! My mom just gave me one those things today but I really had no idea how to use it. Thanks!!
Laura Ellen Good afternoon Laura I’m glad your mom passed down the gift to you it’s a nice item to have. The Egg Coddler cooks eggs very well please enjoy your new gift and I’m glad that you had a chance to see my video on how to use it. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@daveskitchengadgets7311 I tried it tonight. Your video was really helpful. Enjoy your week! 🤗
Laura Ellen Laura, I’m so glad the video helped u with the use of the Coddler. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@lauraellen189 try 7 minutes for a softer egg. You'll love it.
I have several and have been enjoying them for 40 years. eggloversRus! Very useful video for coddler beginners.
I bought a coddler at a consignment store. I may go back for one more.
Thank you, Sir! I'm going to get a set!
Hey Dave. Great video! Picked mine up at a stoop sale. Instructions inside the box said 10 minutes (mine’s the double egg size) but it didn’t say whether to start the boil before putting the coddler in. You set me straight on that and it’s delicious!!
Thanks 🎉
(And yeah:: the artwork’s a nice touch)
Put some butter on top of the egg after it comes out, mix it up, pepper it. Devine
I always wondered about those!
I have 3 small coddlers and one large from when I lived in England. I haven't used them in years, but I pulled them from the back of the cupboard this morning to put more protein in my breakfast. Your wife got quit the bargain. I was looking for recipes, and of course etsy popped up with people selling them for $30-40. The Royal Worcester (pronounced woo-ster) has several recipes and cooking times.
Egg Coddlers rock!
Wifey did good. 😊
Thank you! That was so helpful!
Monika Vajas No Prob. Glad to be of some help. 👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿
If you do the eggs for 3 to 4 minutes you have a runny yolk. Good to drip toast of crispy bacon in it. Yummy.
I definitely agree with others here who say there’s no real advantage for hard boiled (well, except you don’t have to peel off a shell 😁). But I love soft-boiled eggs, and this does those very well.
Thank You.
I have a couple of these, that I found at a thrift store as well! I love the birds on yours, mine have flowers and grapes. Mine are the same brand, but mine seem to be a little bigger? I was hoping to make ouef cocette in mine, which I think is just a Frenchie way to say coddled eggs....ad a tiny bit of cream, or yogurt on the top and omg amazing!! Love your tutorial!
Excellent review. Thank you ☺️
Thank you very much TLC Creates!
Wow!! Awesome
Thanks Annette! I thought so myself too. These will definitely get used in my home.
Thanks for that Dave.
Those little daddies are expensive. I did find some under $10. though. I think they are beautiful. They add an elegance to your breakfast. Cut some toast in thin strips to dip in a soft egg. There are also bigger, 2 egg coddlers.
Lucky find.
well big Dave like it
I wish i could have found mine in a thrift store
You do not need to cover the saucepan?
Excellent Channel. Dave New Sub Greetings From Scotland
Tay Man Thanks for Subscribing and getting on board with Dave’s Kitchen Gadgets. A lot more videos are on the way! Thanks!
❤ bon appetite
Does anyone have some perfects timings for hard whites and soft yolk?
I have the double egg, lots of trial and error. Don’t have instructions unfortunately.
Hope you didn’t spend too much. Cuz Egglets already have something similar for 6.
Lovely! Royal Worcester pronounced Wooster!! Crazy English
Coddled eggs are the best. Very British
A coddled egg should be soft but hard
yo not the eaten cheese egg?
