Steamed Eggs vs Boiled Eggs ...which is better?

Is it better to boil eggs or steam eggs when cooking hard boiled eggs? Both cooking methods work well, but steaming eggs takes less time, and the shells peel off the eggs easier, or at least I think so. What do you think?

How to Steam Eggs in a Steamer Basket

Place steamer Basket in a pot.
Fill pot with water to just below the basket bottom.
Carefully place eggs in the steamer. If there is extra room for the eggs to jostle during steaming, use a paper towel to stabilize the eggs.
Cover pot and bring water to a boil.
Steam eggs for 12 minutes for a “hard boiled” egg.
Remove eggs from steam and place eggs directly in cold water because this will “shock” the eggs, drawing the inner membrane away from the shell and making them easier to peel.

How to Hard Boil Eggs

Place eggs in a pot and cover the eggs with cold water with about 1” of extra water over the eggs.
With the pot uncovered, bring the water to a boil, then remove the pot from the heat.
Cover, and allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, remove boiled eggs from the hot water and place in cold water to cool.

Eggs are easier to peel under water, and using older eggs will make the eggs easier to peel, as well. I find that steamed eggs do not stick to the inner shell as much, so they are easier to peel than eggs boiled in water. What is your experience?

The shorter cooking time and ease of peeling make steaming my choice for hard boiling eggs in the future. The steamer basket works fine for eggs and has many other great uses in the kitchen, so I’ll forego buying a gadget specifically for egg steaming.
