No, the eggs sit a little above the water line, they don't touch or
sit in the water at all. Seems like the cooking is achieved by the
steam.
You need less volume of steam if the top part is full of eggs ??

Yerbut, the egs have greater mass?

Does the steam escape, or is it (more or less) contained?


It can only escape at the top via a 6mm hole in the cover.

At the end of the day, a scientific approach, given the available
variables, is prolly not how the water level was estimated. An iterative
"suck it and see" method would work just as well, if not better



You mean, do it (wait for it) empireggally?
