Hmm, that 15-16 minute time seems unappetizing to me, but I haven't preferred fully cooked flaky/chalky yolks for a long time. For creamy (aka jammy) yolks, I have settled on:
- 9:30-10:?? cook time depending on size
- eggs straight from fridge (not necessary; just how I do it)
- Move the steamer basket to cold running water immediately. I think colder water will help make peeling easier, but faucet temperature water is usually fine, too.
With a gas stove, the hard part is getting the water back to the right boil after adding the basket. I know that the temperature of the water won't change, but I still feel that higher heat will cook the eggs faster since more steam will be passing over them.
