Can agree on the sous vide part (dunno about the others). I recently got a sous vide and doing eggs is awesome!

Until I can remember where I got it and replace it, I have been using a rubber band to keep it shut.

The soft silicone cups that you float in boiling water produce a prettier and more consistent egg, but take 10 minutes instead of 1.

Or maybe people just liked scrambled more..
