How to make Big-batch hard-boiled eggs
Fill a large pot with 2.5 cm (1 inch) of water and place a steamer basket inside.
Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Cover with a tight-fitting lid and steam the eggs for 12 minutes.
Using tongs, transfer the eggs immediately to a large bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process.
Allow the eggs to sit in the ice water until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
Peel the eggs.
Do Ahead:
Eggs can be steamed and peeled up to 1 week in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
