Lot of Two Royal Worcester fine china Egg Coddlers with chrome tops Made in England. They stand about 2 1/2\" tall (not counting the top ring). Floral patterns as seen in photos. No chips or cracks. From Grandma\'s collection.Cooking
- During cooking, the egg coddler should not be totally submerged in boiling water. Stand the egg coddler in a pan of boiling water taking care that the water level only reaches halfway up the body of the coddler.
- Egg coddlers should not be used in a microwave oven.
- Egg coddlers should not be exposed to an open flame, nor placed directly on the burner of an electric range.
- Food Safety Note. Eating undercooked eggs poses an increased risk of contracting a food-borne illness, such as Salmonella poisoning. Children, the elderly, and anyone with a depressed immune system, are at high risk. Please cook your eggs according to your own tastes, but keep in mind your health risks as well. Also, be sure to avoid allowing cooked foods to come into contact with surfaces or utensils that have been used to handle raw food.
Cleaning
- According to Royal Worcester, porcelain egg coddlers can be washed in the dishwasher. We do not recommend this.
- We recommend that coddlers be soaked in a weak solution of mild dish soap and warm water for cleaning. Do not soak with the lid affixed to the body of the coddler.
- Do not use abrasive scouring pads, cloths, brushes, or powders on the coddler. This may damage decorations or the glaze. If there are stubborn residues, it is recommended that repetitive soaking and then gentle scrubbing with a soft wash cloth be used. A very soft toothbrush could be used, very gently, to remove stains or residues.
- Air dry the ceramic or porcelain body in a dish rack. Towel-dry the stainless steel or metal sections carefully. Do not apply the lid to the coddler until all parts of the lid and the body are completely dry. Otherwise, the metal lid may fuse to the body.
Handling
- The lifting ring must never be used to tighten or loosen the top of the coddler. The ring should be used only to lift coddlers out of the water bath, or lower them into the water bath. Any torque (rotational force) placed on the ring may cause it to separatefrom the lid.
- When cooking with the coddler, do not screw the lid on very tightly. A loose turn is sufficient.
- When lifting the coddler out of boiling water, do not set it directly onto a cold heat-conductive surface (such as a countertop, or the sink). Place the coddler on a trivet, a towel, or other heat-insulating surface. This will avoid shattering due to rapid temperature change. (The coddlers are designed to withstand thermal shock ... but why take chances?).
- The sooner you wash, or at least soak, the egg coddler after the egg has been cooked in it, the less likely that there will be difficult residue to clean later.
- When storing coddlers for extended periods of time, it is best to keep the lid attached to the coddler as loosely as possible ... this will help avoid fusing if there is much humidity in the air.
- If coddlers are stored for long periods of time, dusting them and inspecting them for rust spots or fusing is recommended. Coddlers enjoy a nice bath occasionally, especially after a long journey or having sat for many months on a collector\'s shelf.
