I generally eat a couple a day, but with my old hard surface stove, it took forever to bring the water up to a boil. A couple weeks ago the local farm store had these on sale for $15.00:

I have boiled eggs on the stove for years and followed some of the stove top methods mentioned here. However, often, I would get distracted by kids , barking dogs or whatever and end up boiling the eggs too long. Result was hard to peel eggs. When to visit stepson and he was using a "Henrietta" steamer. It was great. Put the water in, turn it on and then come back later. Now use a cuisinart and an easily make the hardboiled eggs my wife like or softboiled the way I like them.
Cheap, easy, good results and doesn't take up to much space on counter.
