maybe 5 years ago, Nancy (from this board!) taught us all that steamed is way to do it- you can control how runny the yolk is, the white is much silkier, and they peel way more easily

i bring a pot to boil, turn down heat to just below medium, drop in steamer basket.
i like yolks to be a bit runny, so i steam for 9min:30sec then run under cold water (makes peeling super easy and they don't continue "cooking" inside shell). if you like more solid yolks, then you would want to add maybe 2-3 minutes to steam time.
