From when my name was hahabogus.

***I only tried 10 eggs as the steamer holds a max of 10***
So everywhere it says a dozen replace with 10.

The eggs were bought last weekend. The large grade eggs were those flax
fed chicken type ...up here called 'omega eggs' . I was really impressed,
easiest peeling eggs I ever had. I have no clue where the manual went for
the steamer...I just steamed the dozen eggs for 20 minutes and left them
to cool in the steamer (forgot about them for 2 hours). *In other words
the electric steamer went 'ding' and I peeled the eggs after they reached
room temp.*
No internal signs
of the eggs being over cooked. Same taste as other hard boiled eggs.

My working theory is the eggs cooked slower and that helped prevent the
dreaded sticking shell.
