Glad you are enlightened. I've steamed for a few years and am amazed that others don't
Totally agree, and it took me a long time to get it all right with Momofuko eggs
The light finally came when someone said to put eggs into ice water to cool for 5 minutes only...because eggs which are not so cold, peel easier. It works so well for me. The eggs I get are very fresh, and I must admit that store-bought eggs always peel easier, but do not hold a candle to good tasting eggs I get.

I too have been steaming eggs for a long time. Great isn’t it?
So I just realized: deviled eggs would work with Mom and Her Minimum Amount of Teeth.
Let's set the stage here: I've made deviled eggs exactly once and ended up tossing the entire batch. It was a recipe from a barbeque/bar joint that used some spicy pickled vegetable and its pickling juice as the main flavor and it sounded wonderful
I was wrong.
It may have worked for people who grew up with jars of those vinegary pickled peppers on every table or who think Tabasco should come in gallon-size jars, but for me...it was too, too much.
I searched here for hard-boiled eggs, but got pages of returns. Then I narrowed it to deviled eggs, but to be honest, all I want is a simple recipe that both Mom and I can enjoy. I never eat yolks and have only been doing so over the past two weeks for this damn "we must...we must...we must increase our...iron" dietary change.
So if anyone can help me make yolks taste better, please do.
Right now, all I have is mayo and dijon mustard and will need to pick up anything else.
Thank you.

You can make egg salad also which is good as a sandwich or on crackers. I am
making it pretty often these days.
As for devilled eggs I mash the yolks--I actually usually do this with a FP to make it smooth. Add a little mustard and mayo and mix. Pickle relish can be good addition. Not much else unless you want to add some finely chopped or ground ham or bacon. Salt and pepper. Capers can be good with just a little juice if you like capers. "Dressed up" devilled eggs for a party can get topped with a slice of lox/smoked salmon.
For egg salad I just mash with a fork--whites and yolks. Yesterday I added some finely chopped celery and pickle relish and some tarragon.
IF your hard boiled eggs don't peel well egg salad is a good alternative. Crack the shell and scoop out with a spoon like you would a soft boiled egg since the egg is going to get mashed up anyway.

I grew up eating deviled egg sandwiches (I am 79) deviled eggs, hard boiled eggs plain
and have tried many recipes. The most memorable hard-boiled, and so-called deviled eggs, was eaten at a club meeting one day. They were so creamy and delicious, I asked the lady who brought them how she did it. She told me it was just a little mayo and French Tarragon.with a pinch of salt. I was never able to replicate the taste of hers, but at that time I was not buying farm fresh eggs. Maybe she also added a tad of mustard, but what kind? Anyway, I think with a good deviled egg, the simpler the better.

I told my niece and her fiance that I was going to change their lives forever by...
...teaching them how to steam eggs.
They are 'gym rats' and eat a lot of eggs.
They were surely amazed and thankful!

Yes. Actually I don't think I've tasted "sulfurous" in yolks but definitely smell it
as I am breaking them up.
Our grandson has always LOVED develled eggs and I made them for him often. Then one time he had a friend over (they were about 5) and he said as I walked in the door at his house "Oh Baba, HI. Can you make us some devilled eggs" .
It is always interesting to me that they are easy but are often considered picnic or potluck food so not made at home as much--or maybe thought of to make.

I noticed that too. Steamed eggs have more tender whites and creamier yolks than...
...the ones I boil.
