Did you know you can cook perfectly "hard-boiled" eggs in a vegetable steamer? I'm talking one like my trusty Black and Decker here.
The eggs don't actually boil, of course; they just hang out in the steamer basket and cook as if they had bumped around in a pan full of water. But there's no pot watching involved and no worrying about them bonking into each other and cracking, or maybe that's just me. Just set it and forget it (and pardon me for sounding all infomercial right there)!
These went 25 minutes, but they probably don't need quite that long. Next time I'll try 23 minutes and see how we do.
Deviled eggs, anyone?

That is so cool! I love hard boiled eggs, particularly egg sandwiches. I have an egg cooker to make mine and it works like your steamer!
I discovered baking them in the oven in muffin tins this year, but this is something I could do while making a batch of rice! Brilliant!! Thanks for the tip!
If I only had a vegetable steamer ! Great tip!
Who would've thought an infomercial in blogland:D Seriously though, this is a brilliant tip. Whenever I cook eggs they never, never turn out just right, no matter what I do.
Who would have thought? What a great idea.
I didn't know that and they look good! Thanks for sharing.

Cool! I don't have a veggie steamer like this, but, may try it in my rice cooker that has a steamer with it? The chicken that lays the green-esque egg is the Aracauna or the Ameracauna. This is the breed I have currently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araucana
I don't have a veggie steamer, but I bring the eggs to a boil, then turn off the stove and let them sit for 10 minutes with the lid on and it seems to do them pretty nicely -- no green rings. Your way is awesome too.
