When the timer goes off the eggs go directly into ice water and I tap each egg on the thick end on the edge of the sink. Let them sit in the water for about 30 seconds more and the shells slide right off. Perfectly cooked soft and tender whites with warm liquid yolks. Doing it this way is essentially doing the same thing but without a machine. Probably my favorite way to have eggs in the morning.

i do this..but i fore-go even the steamer basket. just set them in very shallow boiling water.
i like to peel them, put the egg on a piece of toast and then cut the beauty in half. let the yolk lava flow.
