I boiled about 18 eggs last night, and when I tested two of them this morning I discovered that the yokes are runny. Can I reboil them? Has anyone had success with this?

probably not but try it anyhow and see what happens but to prevent this from happening again let them boil for 4 minutes turn down heat and let them simmer for another 5 then let them stand in the hot water for approximately thirty seconds. this worked during all my culinary tests where hard-boiled eggs were involved
