Step 1

Add about 1-inch of water to a medium pot (just below height of steamer basket).

Step 2

Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat. Insert a steamer basket (legs of basket should be propped up if it has collapsable legs).

Step 3

Set eggs on steamer basket, cover with lid right away (leave pot set on medium-high heat).

Step 4

Let cook 6 - 15 minutes to desired doneness*. Runny yolks take 6 - 8 minutes, nearly set yolks are about 9 - 11 minutes, and fully cooked through yolks take about 13 - 15 minutes (hard boiled type).

Step 5

While eggs are cooking fill a medium bowl with ice and water.

Step 6

Once eggs are done cooking immediately transfer to ice water to cool so eggs don't continue to cook. Let rest for at least a few minutes before peeling, to chill eggs through if preferred let rest at least 15 minutes.

Step 7

To peel the eggs easily crack all over then roll on countertop. Run under cold water and peel. Rinse away any debris of shells.

Step 8

Store fully cooked through steamed eggs in the fridge an an airtight container for up to 1 week.
