they are frozen and i am in a rush to cook them for today. Can i run them under cold water until they thaw out or will that destroy them? The package says thaw overnight in fridge, too bad i didnt since i need them today for cooking.

I never thaw overnight always in a strainer under cold running water.

Running them under cold water is the way to go.

In a colander under cold water is fine, warm water makes them go a bit mushy and hot water will cook them. Enjoy!

I run warm water over them, and they thaw out just fine.

Cool water is fine. Do not use warm or hot water, as this may begin to cook them.

You can soak them in tepid water to thaw them.
