Hard Not-Boiled Eggs

Like the name implies, these eggs are not technically boiled. I've been steaming eggs since '09, a method that makes them easier to peel than any other application I've yet tried. Steam is my choice because although it’s hot, it’s physically less violent than boiling water, ergo less likely to cause cracks. And steam is more reliable because unlike water, which drops in temperature when the eggs go in, steam is pretty much a constant at standard pressure.Also, we want those yolks nice and centered, and the best way to do that is to store them on their sides. Just secure the egg carton with several rubber bands and place on its side in the refrigerator for at least 5 days.This recipe first appeared in Season 2 of Good Eats: Reloaded.
