Coddling
In cooking, to coddle food is to heat it in water kept just below the boiling point.[4] The process is either done in a regular pan or pot filled with water, either on the stovetop or placed in the oven,[4] or through the use of a special device such as an "egg coddler" (originally known as a pipkin).[4] The word coddle evolved from the name of a warm drink, "caudle", and ultimately deriving from the Latin word for warm drink, calidium.[6] Comparing the coddling cooking technique to boiling when it comes to whole eggs, the process of coddling takes a longer time due to the use of a lower cooking temperature, but it produces a more tender egg.This cooking article about preparation methods for food and drink is a stub.
