Begin in the push-up position on an exercise mat. Bend your right knee and bring it forward so that it's under your torso. Leave your left knee and leg extended behind you. Slowly lower your torso down and lean slightly to the left until you feel a stretch in your upper thigh and hip.
This method works best if the eggs are in a single layer, but you can double them up as well, you'll just need to add more time to the steaming time. 3 Set your timer for 6 minutes for soft boiled, 10 minutes for hard boiled with a still translucent and bright yolk, or 12-15 minutes for cooked-through hard boiled. 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.
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.
