[Sca-cooks] coddling an egg

There is a definition to coddle that has to do
with extra care or spoiling... that one who is
sick needs to coddled or that he was a coddled
boy. It can mean something totally different from
cooking, although coddling eggs in cooking requires
a degree of care and caution.
