If you have doubled up the eggs in the pan and they are not in a single layer, you may need to add a couple minutes or so to the cooking time for hard boiled. The size large eggs used in these photos were cooked to my satisfaction after 15 minutes when I cooked 6 in a single layer, and 17 minutes when I cooked 12 in the pan. Note that many things will influence the steaming time, including altitude and the size of the particular eggs you are using.
Hard-Steamed Eggs. Fill a pot that can comfortably hold your steamer with the lid on with 1 to 2 inches of water. Bring to a rolling boil, 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Place your eggs in a metal steamer, and lower the basket into the pot. The eggs should sit above the boiling water. Cover and cook for 12 minutes. Hard-steamed eggs, like hard-boiled eggs, are eggs that are cooked until the egg yolk is fully set and has turned to a chalky texture.
