The eggs will not crack due to sudden change in temperatures. At full steam, soft-boiled eggs are ready in 6 minutes, hard-boiled eggs at 8 minutes. As the eggs are cooked by a steam source, there is no variation of water temperature and hence cooking time, no matter how many eggs are placed in the steamer.
Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Cover with a lid and bring water to a boil over high heat; when the water has reached a boil, set the timer for the desired time. Boil for 6 - 7 minutes for perfect hard boiled eggs. For soft-boiled eggs: 4 minutes. For slightly soft-boiled eggs: 5 minutes.
