Hard-Boiled Eggs Steamed
Hard-boiled eggs with a steamer have a wonderful texture and flavor. The steam gives the eggs a more "gentle" heat source and creates an incredibly tender egg. Steam heats the exterior of the egg very quickly which makes them super easy to peel.

Instructions
Add about 1 to 2 inches of water to a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
Place the eggs in a steamer basket and when the water boils, place the basket in the saucepan.
Place the lid on the saucepan and cook until the desired doneness, see below.
When the time is finished, transfer to ice water to stop the cooking.
For Hard boiled Eggs
Boil for 12 to 14 minutes
For Medium Boiled Eggs
Boil for 8 to 9-½ minutes
For Soft Boiled Eggs
Boil for 6 to 7-½ minutes.
Notes
For accurate cooking times, do not stack the eggs on top of each other.
You can use eggs straight from the fridge or eggs that have come to room temperature.
Occasionally, steamed eggs will crack while cooking. You can help prevent the cracking by pocking a small hole in the shell.
Keep the lid on the pot the entire time it is steaming.
For precise cooking times from 5 minutes to 14 minutes, refer to the bulleted guide and photo in the post.
