What I can't work out is the 1-7 scales. In each case the 1 egg

The more eggs you're cooking, the more volume within the cooker is
taken up by eggs, so the less volume of steam you require to fill
the remainder?
What is wrong with the old fashioned egg timer, just sand in a glass
container, fail proof, as long as you don't drop it. However does this
device prevent eggs from cracking during cooking, now that is a PITA!

It comes with a 'piercer' to make a hole in the pointed end of the egg. We
had a similar gadget anyway - piercing the end of the egg shell does prevent
it.
