Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Perfectly Steamed Hard-Boiled Eggs.
Step 1
Begin by filling a pot with water, ensuring it sits just below the bottom of your steamer insert, then place the insert inside the pot.
Step 2
Heat the water over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer, just shy of boiling.
Step 3
Next, carefully arrange your eggs in the steamer insert, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Step 4
Cover the pot with a lid and let the eggs steam for a solid 15 minutes.
Step 5
When the time is up, swiftly transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to halt the cooking process.
Step 6
Allow them to cool until they are comfortable to handle.
Step 7
Once cooled, gently tap the larger end of each egg to create a small crack, then return them to the ice water for an additional 20 minutes; this trick will make peeling a breeze.
Step 8
Finally, peel the eggs under running water or in the bowl of water to easily remove any stubborn bits of shell.
Step 9
Enjoy your perfectly steamed eggs, ready for any dish or snack!.
