The most important part of preparing deviled eggs is properly hard boiling the eggs. Here is a step-by-step guide with pictures. 
1. Place eggs in a roomy saucepan with just enough water to barely cover the eggs.
2. On high heat, bring water to a rapid boil and allow to boil for 30 seconds.
3. After water has boiled for 30 seconds, place lid on pan and turn off the heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
4. Empty pan of all water, and place eggs, pan and all, in the sink. Run cold water over eggs and pan until the pan is cool to the touch. Let sit at least 5 minutes.
5. When eggs and pan are cool, empty the water from the pan and vigorously shake the eggs in the pan to crack them. Then, under running cold water, gently peel the shell away from the egg.
6. Slice eggs in half lengthwise, then using a spoon, gently remove the hard-boiled yolks and place them in a bowl.
Now you are ready to make deviled eggs !

What are your opinions on using a steamer to hard cook the eggs? This seems to eliminate the problem of the eggs bouncing together and cracking while in the boiling water.
Also, do you have any tips for cooking the eggs so that they are easier to peel? Nothing ruins a deviled egg like a fucked up peel job.
Hey "deviled egg fan".
I have not used a steamer to hard-boil eggs. I do not have a problem with them bouncing as they boil.
Eggs are easy to peel if you completely cool them under running water, as indicated in the blog post on how to hard-boil eggs. That might help you reduce fucked up peel jobs.
