Breaking in power cords

Can I break in my new power cord by connecting it to a lamp and then leaving it on fulltime? Various threads indicate hundreds of hours of break in time in the audio system, and I don't want to wait months and months for the benefits. Has anyone tried this method?

Darrylhifi, most clothes dryers operate on 220 volts (USA). Not only is this a "no-no" for burning in power cords, but the receptacle plugs are different for 110v vs. 220v, so this would be an impossibility as well!

How about on an active subwoofer that I leave on all the time, will the amp in that give a PC a proper break in?
