2. I steam eggs.

1/4 inch water in a pot with close fitting lid, bring to boil, gently put room temperature eggs in the pot and cover for 11 minutes (for me). One egg or a dozen the time stays the same. You might vary the time by a minute either way for your altitude and taste. Transfer to cold/ice water.

This is exceptionally consistent and you can get the yolk set to your personal taste with a little experimentation. 1/4 inch water boils a lot faster than a pot full of water and eggs. I eat at least half dozen boiled eggs a week. Hmm, think I'll get one now . . .
