Everyone swears by Instant Pot hard boiled eggs. I don't have an Instant Pot but I do have an electric food steamer that I mainly use for hard boiled eggs. Steaming them makes peelable hard boiled eggs every time. They actually have steamers specifically for eggs too:

Steam them. Starting them in a HOT environment is key, if I remember the reading I've done correctly. Also, chill them down immediately, then peel under running water for the best result.

I've been steaming eggs instead of boiling for the past several months because it uses much less water, and while I wouldn't say that the eggs peel perfectly every time, they do seem to peel a lot easier than boiled.
For large eggs I put the lid on the pot and steam for 13 minutes once the water is boiling and steam is visible. For extra large eggs I go for 15 min.

I'd forgotten about deviled eggs until one hot May day during lockdown when there was nothing in the house I wanted to eat. I made them, Spouse loved them and they are now part of our regular dinner rotation during the warmer months. I can't help on the peeling: I do a spoonful of vinegar in the water, put the eggs in an ice-bath for 5-10 minutes and they peel fine for me.

Thanks for the tips! I think we'll try one of the steaming methods.
I love deviled eggs. I also used to like Scotch Eggs when I lived overseas. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/9482/scotch-eggs/ I haven't had one of those in decades.
