So what? All you're losing is water? I like them grilled
over an open fire or at home broiled.

Yeah, they may be plumper but you lose flavor and natural
juices to the boiling water. Broiling or grilling is best.
And besides that gives you a nice crispy skin. I actually
like my a little burnt. I like the flavor of the charred
areas. Boiling is so wimpy. ;-) And then you have a pot to
wash on top of everything else!
