Heating frozen mice
So, I think my wife is getting sick of me stealing her hair dryer to warm up thawed p/k mice... I was going to go out and buy another one, but then I thought, "Hey wouldn't a heat gun do the job better?". I checked out HarborFreight (There's one 10 minutes from my house) and they've got one for $14 (http://www.harborfreight.com/1500-wa...112-96289.html). I'm a little concerned about the minimum temp, though... 572 degrees. Obviously I don't want to cook the mouse.
So what do y'all use to heat up your frozen mice?

Water. About 100-115degree water.

I do the water sometimes, but it's a lot messier than thawing in the fridge overnight then hitting it with a hair dryer to warm it up.

Ooooo Kkkkk... I guess the point of my question is, is that heat gun too hot? I have no clue what the average hair dryer gets up to, but I'd imagine that a heat gun would be more durable and long lasting. I'd like to know if anyone else is using something similar.

Asked my hairdresser mother and my plumber father and they decided that a hairdryer puts about 100-150* out.

That will be too hot lol. Human meats only need to be cooked to 165degrees max (rare steak starts at 120degrees). 572degrees will incinerate those rats lol.

Water seems like a much safer idea.
If you cooked the mouse and didn't know, that would be a disaster.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that would cook it. I just thaw mine at room temp, pop it in a ziploc baggy, and soak in hot water for a few minutes.
