  So you 1st dethaw on the counter? May I ask why? Just curious, maybe you know a secret.
 
I just transfer the Primal nuggets (that's what they usually eat for frozen) into the glass tupperware after their dinner. Put it in the fridge & it's already thawed in the am. There's no juices or anything, so I don't need to use any paper towels. I did notice that Stella & Chewy's gets a little juicy, but they lick it all up.
