BigJ- do you mean that however hot the water is or however long I have it under that water, it's cooking them? or do you mean to try "cooking"/microwaving it? Just trying to make sense, your post kinda confused me for a moment.
Daybreaker- no, nothing has changed as far as cleaning and maintenance goes.
Cooking them = bad he was saying that the hot water might be cooking them. I defrost mine in room temperature water, then heat them up with a blow dryer. This has worked great for me.
