Notes

Refrigerated Eggs: This recipe uses refrigerated eggs. Times will vary for room temperature eggs.
Water Qty + Temp: It's really important to use 1.5 cups of really cold water for this recipe. Because the quantity and temperature of water will determine how much time the Multipot takes to come to pressure. If the water is cold, the Multipot takes a few additional minutes to come to pressure, which means more cooking time for the eggs.

Recipe Variations:

For jammy soft boiled eggs - 3 minutes low pressure, with immediate quick pressure release.
For hard boiled eggs with slightly soft yellow - 2 / 3 min HIGH pressure with immediate quick pressure release.

Storage:

Soft boiled eggs are best stored unpeeled, and last well for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
The best way to reheat refrigerated soft boiled eggs is by putting them in simmering water on stove for 1-2 minutes. It will warm up the eggs without overcooking them.
