Power cord break-in tips?

I will receive a new power cord for my VAC in a few weeks. In my experience some power cords improve sound quality and over time and a new power cords effect will change in a good way, hopefully. 
My question is what appliance do you folks use to break-in a new cord? I use our plasma TV it's used much of the day.

I use the fridge, too (with an IEC to 3 prong adaptor), and I give it a couple of weeks.  I have an Audiodharma Cable Cooker 2.5, and I find the fridge to be better for power cords (this is cooking Elrod power cords, which need a lot of break in, IME).

This is silly....put the freakin cord on your equipment and play music.  I hope you got an MIT Oracle or Transparent MM2....sheer bliss!
