    Awesome, I'm going for this method then, thank you. So, if theyre fully thawed they dont have to be cold anymore? They have to feel like theyre at room temp? Im getting a temperature gun this month anyways so i guess that'll help

    yes, they should feel like they're at room temp and not cold at all. the temp gun is always a useful tool to have!
