Give your eggs some TLC.
Eggs require a delicate touch—treat them gently by cooking them in a glass coddler. This Jenaer Glas dish allows your eggs to cook in a pot of boiling water, similar to poaching, to guarantee a perfectly cooked egg with a creamy white. They're available in 4 sizes, to take you from solo weekday breakfasts to hosting all-out brunches for your friends.
- The 2.2-ounce coddler holds approximately 1 egg
- The 4.4-ounce coddler holds approximately 2 eggs
- The 8.4-ounce coddler holds approximately 4 eggs
- The 16-ounce coddler holds approximately 6 eggs

Better in theory than in practice
My family loves soft-boiled and poached eggs, so I figured coddled eggs in these oh-so-chic contraptions would be perfect! Not so. I bought the 2-egg size and have tried it 4 times now - the eggs have either come out over-cooked on the outside and horribly uncooked on the inside, or seriously overcooked all over. T'm going to try it with 1 egg next time. I think the 2 egg size is too small for 2 large eggs - the heat doesn't distribute properly. And I suppose I could scramble the eggs first, but then why not just make scrambled eggs in a pan? Not a fan of this product.
Excellent purchase!
I bought the 4.4 ounce coddlers and they are just divine. I think this size is most appropriate per person -- ie, you can put in two eggs, some cream and herbs. (The 2.2 ounce size you'll likely only get one egg and very little cream.) Coddling the eggs in boiling water is a lovely alternative to how I normally bake them. Will use these for years.
My husbands favorite
My husband uses this at least 3 or 4 times a week. to make his eggs. 2 eggs fit perfectly and cook to perfection. He has thanked me so many times for ordering this for him.
