If I'm going to have my boiled I like a little bit of runny, Coddled sounds a lot runny.

I have always poached my egg loose in boiling water, occasionally it separates but generally its successfull, but I thought these seem like a way of guaranteeing it stays intact. ... theres no reason it should get watery unless its undercooked! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7349406000&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT Back to top worldor Joined: 14 Apr 2005 Posts: 111 Location: West Midlands Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 7:04 pm    Post subject: Looks good to me. They would probably taste the same as poached I would think.

My grandma used to make us coddled eggs when we stayed with her and they were lovely. Like boiled eggs without the shell.
