In cooking, to coddle food is to heat it in water kept just below the boiling point. The term comes from the English verb to coddle, meaning to treat gently or pamper.

As a verb, Coddling means to pamper or over-protect. To treat with extreme care or kindness

Cooking examples

The eggs added to a Caesar salad should ideally be coddled. However, coddled eggs are not fully cooked and may present a salmonella risk.[citation needed]
