I'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't like that.

I got used to the hot water bath technique when the kids were babies
and we had to warm up their bottles.  It was much more consistent and
predictable than the microwave, and with today's bath, I just put it
in there before setting up everything else, and when it was time to
etch it was ready to go - no waiting, no checking.
