Consider switching to Frozen/thawed (nother big debate there). I pull one out of the fridge, put it in a ziploc bag in a warm sink of water for 20 min. I dangle it on a set of tongs for about 10 seconds and shes good to go. Its cheaper, easier and faster from my prospective. That and my youngest had his heart broke when he realized Salina wasn't friends with "Mickey" and she wasn't hugging him!
