Tips:

*Soft-Set 6-minute Eggs: This method of cooking eggs allows you to cook multiple eggs at once with fully cooked whites and runny molten yolks. Bring water to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Gently lower cold eggs into the water. Immediately set a timer for 6 minutes. Meanwhile, have ready a bowl of ice water. After 6 min, transfer eggs to ice water bath using slotted spoon. Cool completely before peeling. Store unpeeled cooked eggs in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
