Processing question

No smell to the gloves. At least when dry.
They do say non-sterile though. I'm not sure what that means. As in, don't handle food wearing them?

I'm pretty sure that non-sterile means that they don't have any antiseptics or other such chemicals on them. Those are what you want for handling food because you don't want the chemicals in your food.

"Sterile gloves" are gloves that are completely free from microorganisms, these are only really used in places such as a surgical theater, they're for use within a sterile field.
Food prep is not actually a sterile process so you would use "non sterile" gloves.

Well what do you know?
I fried the third one, no brining or marinating first, just some seasoned cornstarch, and it was great.

So I guess put me in the camp of letting them rest refrigerated for a day before eating. Because something sure as heck made a difference.

ok, I processed mine and threw each in ice bath then took them inside for a 2nd rinse and wash and threw them in freezer bag and freezer. Is that ok? I didn't know about the resting! There seems to be a bit of blood in bag but sorta normal like when you buy from market.

Resting just lets rigor pass. It passes quite quickly in quail. They'll be fine without resting, just a little bit tougher.

You can also let them rest after you take them out of the freezer, just let them defrost a day before you actually need them
