Wagenfeld Collection 16-Ounce Glass Egg Coddler, Large

I highly recommend using an egg coddler !!!Using this coddler has allowed me to create so many wonderful food combinations with eggs in one container.I enjoy adding so many ingredients with my eggs (such as spinach, cheese, kale, asparagus, bacon bits, sauces, etc.) ,I purchased the largest size available.It is not too large and yet I can always just put one or two eggs in it for a simple breakfast.I am planning to purchase a second coddler for when I have friends over for breakfast.I think each person having their own individual coddler make a great table presentation and allows each person to add their own ingredients!!!Being made of glass is also a plus...easy cleanup and no harmful chemicals to be concerned about.The Janaer coddler will be in my kitchen for year to come!8/16/16 Update - I have been using the coddler for several months and the glass and metal still look brand new.One thing I have noticed recently, is that when I have my 3 eggs, 2 pcs. of sliced ham, cream and chives in the coddler,it will take approximately 20 minutes for the eggs to become firm. Here in Florida in August my condo is humid enoughbefore boiling water for 20 minutes. However...I can see this as a tremendous plus if you live up North. especially in theWinter. Even though using my coddler adds a little to the humidity...the eggs taste so darn good...I will continue to enjoyusing it year round! Last week while using the coddler, I added 4 eggs to the boiling water to hard boil them for use later tomake egg salad. Double purpose in using the coddler in boiling water ( See photo)

I have been using these for 2 months now. It is a fantastic product!!! 100% worth the money. Very high-quality and multiple uses. It’s something you will have forever!I’m really not big on writing customer reviews, but I had to with this one! I have the extra large version and it is perfect for two eggs plus your own added ingredients. I love the ability to customize with your own seasonings, ingredients, veggies and meats. Makes eggs impossible to mess up. I struggled with trying to get the perfect poached egg for so long. I was never happy with the way they turned out. This is not poached, but it is very similar. I could not be happier with this purchase!

So these are "medium size" and will hold 2 eggs - traditionally you coddle one egg in a smaller cup, but this will work. Remember "coddled" eggs are NOT poached. They are delicious alternative to poaching or other water cooking. Rub the inside of the coddler with generous amount of softened butter or olive oil. Seal the lid top and place in boiling water pan (water below the lip of the coddler). Cook per your desired temperature. Around 10 minutes if you prefer a hard cooked egg - or around 5 if you like a more loose yolk - even less if you like a very runny yolk.. Scoop out with a small spoon or dip with toast sticks. It's a real treat. These coddlers are very nice because they are clear glass and go right into the dishwasher. The metal clasps securely hold the lid on which is very important (you don't want water in the coddle) - and are easy to remove with a towel (they will be hot when they come out of the boiling water). The only negative I will report is that the add clearly states it is a set of two. I only got one. Had a "replacement" order placed and again only got one. So eventually I got the set of 2 but it was hassle. Having said all that, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.

This is a lovely thing, beautifully designed, and a pleasure to use. Butter it, add eggs (I used three; two would have been a better choice), season, add a dollop of cream, cover, place in a saucepan of simmering water (water should come below the lip of the jar), and cook for about seven minutes. Less or more, depending on how you like your eggs -- experiment. Lift out of water, remove the clip that holds the lid closed, you may need to gently use the tip of a butter-knife to pry the lid off, and enjoy your eggs. That said, coddling is a cooking method. This is a piece of kitchen equipment that makes it easier to use that method. I suspect that you could coddle eggs in a buttered coffee mug, with a saucer balanced on top to cover it. Awkward, but I think it would work. But if there's room in your kitchen cupboards for these, go for it. I am all about my toys.Next, I'm going to see how making custard in these will work, maybe a savory Japanese chawan mushi......

No matter how much I grease it before using, the egg still sticks a lot and is difficult to scrub off.

I just finished breakfast, I had hash browns, sausage, and perfectly coddled eggs. It was delicious!Let's get something straight, folks: CODDLING IS DIFFERENT FROM POACHING! That means you can COMPLETELY disregard those reviews whining that these egg CODDLERS don't POACH eggs well. Of course they don't! They're not supposed to! You might as well expect your pop-up toaster to make homemade French toast or your tea kettle to fry bacon.What these Jenaer Egg Coddlers DO is to make perfectly coddled eggs OUTSIDE an egg shell. Butter the coddler, crack the egg(s) into it, add a little seasoning if you'd like, plunge them into simmering water for the correct time, and—WOO HOO! Perfectly coddled eggs. These are SUPERB TOOLS for that task—the best I've ever used (better even than the nice porcelain Royal Worcester ones I own).If you really love a perfectly coddled egg, then don't hesitate to buy these. They are ideal! They are wonderful! They are perfect! They clean up in seconds! They're made of borosilicate glass!If you're looking for poached eggs, however, look elsewhere.Moreover, if you think you really belong in the kitchen, learn the difference between the coddling and poaching before you spout off and demonstrate your ignorance!
