I experimented with steaming them also and will never go back to boiling eggs. Just steam the eggs in a vegetable steamer set over boiling water for 10 minutes. I cooled and peeled mine right away, my friend took hers off the heat and let them set for an additional 10 minutes before peeling. Both ways worked a treat.ust steam the eggs in a vegetable steamer set over boiling water for 10 minutes.
