[Sca-cooks] coddling an egg

[Marion MacGregor]

Greetings are sent to the List,

I have a mundane friend who had asked me what it means "to
coddle an egg"  after a few side jokes (remember Iam
married to Puck) I am stumped.  What does the term "to
coddle an egg" truly mean and what is the importance of it
in cooking?  BTW this is from a recipe to make a dressing
for a salad
In Service,
Lady Marion MacGregor
