I tried for decades to get perfect boiled eggs. But I could never get the eggs to peel right. Then about 6 years ago I found an article about steaming them.
It works! They peel effortlessly every time. They are easier to time the degree that I want them cooked to.
Strat some water to boil in a covered pot. Let it get to a hard boil, you will see steam coming out from under the lid.
I have had a set of these for 36 yea5rs and use them daily!
Using a net steamer place the eggs in it and quickly take off the lif and add the steamer to the pot.
Set your timer for 6 minutes for soft boiled, 10 minutes for hard boiled with a still translucent and bright yolk, or 12 to 15 minutes for cooked-through hard boiled.
Place the eggs in a bowl of ice water to cool. I do this in the sink so I can let the eggs fall in to it from a few feet up. This cracks the eggs and lets them break, letting water seep in between the cooked albumin and the shells. When ready, after a few minutes of letting the eggs chill, peel the eggs.

2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
11/2 t. Monk Fruit Sweetener or honey
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
Coarse salt and cracked black pepper
1 medium Napa cabbage
1 bag shredded carrots
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn into quarters
1/2 cup mint leaves, torn
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons black and white sesame seeds
1 pound ahi tuna steaks
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
In a large salad bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Cut cabbage in 1/2 lengthwise and slice into thin ribbons. Place cabbage, carrots, basil, mint, and cilantro in the bowl with the dressing. Toss to combine. Set aside.
Pour the sesame seeds out onto a plate. Press the tuna into the seeds on both sides, pressing gently so the sesame seeds stick.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add fish to pan and cook until rare, about 2 minutes per side. Alternatively, cook until done to your likeness. Slice thin and distribute among 4 serving plates. Serve with a generous portion of Napa cabbage slaw.
