I use hot tap water, no hotter than what comes out of the tap. Thaw them in that, then dump and get fresh hot tap water to get them nice and warm. I tried the blow-dryer method, but find that no matter how long I leave them under the heat, by the time I turn it off, pick them up, and offer them to the snake, the external temperature has cooled off too much. Soaking in water gets the internal and external temperatures up enough, and takes longer to cool down. I've considered getting a heat lamp, and seeing if that works better than the blow-dryer.
