In cooking, to coddle food is to heat it in water kept just below the boiling point.[1] In the past, recipes called for coddling fruit,[2] but in recent times the term is usually only applied to coddled eggs. The process is either done in a regular pan or pot, or through the use of a special device such as an "egg coddler" (originally known as a pipkin).[3]
The word coddle evolved from the name of a warm drink, "caudle", and ultimately deriving from the Latin word for warm drink, calidium.[4]
Comparing the coddling cooking technique to boiling when it comes to whole eggs, the process of coddling takes a longer amount of time due to the use of a lower cooking temperature, but it produces a more tender egg.[5]
