there are what iirc are called 'cocottes' (sp?) little porcelain or
pyrex jars with screw tops or snap on lids to sit in a pan of boiling
water, they have a ring on top so you can easily lift them out of the
boiling water.

shirred eggs are merely broken onto a small saucer and placed under the
broiler for a few minutes, once cooked to desired doneness add herb
butter, cream, cheese, sauted mushrooms, chicken livers, asparagus tip
etc. etc.
