Burn in power cord by boiling water??


A Hi-Fi dealer the other day told me that in order to burn in and smoothen out a new power cord, I should get my wife to use it on the kettle to boil water (Rather sexist remark, I know). The theory is that kettles draw a lot more current than hi-fi equipment. He further advised not to do it more than 3 times.

Just a bit worried that the wife might not want to return the power cord after she discovers that her coffee tastes a lot better by using it.

Any opinions on this?

I burn mine in on the fridge using a cheater cord from Ernie. The ice cubes are much better formed, the light does not flicker, and the hum of the motor is much more musical. Oh, and the white wine I'm chilling is much rounder and has more air. There is much greater separation among the flavors...
