I thought the 17 minutes, chill, quick boil again, seemed excessive, but I figured there was nothing to lose but time.

I've tried 10 minutes of simmering, straight to ice water, try to peel, fail. Sad for me?

Rob, that's about what I do. Cut the egg in half and eat with a spoon. It's really not very satisfying. Do you mean to cut them and remove them from the shell with a spoon. Like to use for deviled eggs? I haven't tried that.

Right. My real problem with deviled eggs is how many I can eat.
