Glug them whilst they defrost. Top up with a bit more glug when defrosted if needed. I always find, glug dependant, done this way the liquid will be sticky and perfect for powders to stick to.

They draw more in if glugged after fully defrosted

Can't say I've ever noticed a difference tbh. Like I said it's not for how much they draw in that i do it like this. It's because the glug seems to be stickier on the outer of the boilie and powders stick better. My own personal findings though and I'm sure it depends on what hydro/liquid you are using.
