How about a decarb oven as an air fryer?
You could reheat a ton of french fries!

Best homemade pizza i ever had was from a vacuum oven, good memories, applied a light vacuum like 900mbar and it crisped up soooo nice

get a cold trap and use an ai oven to make cosmic brownies.. brownies in avacuum
I’m honestly surprised we don’t see more vacuum ovens in culinary arts.

Even though it does not directly correlate it does remind me that when I was a kid there was a period my dad was attached to an EOD unit (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) and they had this billboard that said on it “EOD does not make a mistake twice”.
The consequences of what you’re doing if it does go Boom (which it likely will sooner or later) are going to be devastating and you will not be able to make that mistake again.
Be careful what you doing and even more careful when giving advice that could end someone’s life.

this happens to be one of my fields of study, a much more forgiving rig cleaning SOP you can preflush your rig with HOT water from the sink. The hot water warms up the glass and also removes large globs of reclaim, so you do not need to microwave any solvent and your rig cleans just as easily. I also do not recommend microwaving bongs, clear glass your testing welds and colored glass is rolling the dice imo.
I hang my rig upside down in my kitchen oven over some parchment to catch drips, set preheat to ~250f, rinse with iso when it beeps. Way too easy.

my tech is more focused on throughput and safety, I don’t mind putting in a little extra effort.
I have played hot potato with a bong before also
No need to over complicate things…
Step 1: Place your alcohol in a jar with a lid
Step 2: Add jar to pot of warm/boiling water that has been removed from heat source (you can even use a microwave to heat the water)
Voilà

Or do like this guy (straight to ziplock + instant hot water)
I will do a hot water rinse first on flower pieces to save alcohol. I also agree that the glass itself should never go in the microwave. My cousin broke a pretty expensive (clear) piece this way after doing it for months. Colored glass generally contains metals and will break much sooner.

or just run hot water through your rig for a bit to get it hot then add alcohol, no need to get the alcohol hot first haha

That was already mentioned…
I guess it depends on the piece you’re cleaning and how long you’d like to take…
A lightly used oil rig that gets regular cleanings is going to clean much easier than one that has sat dirty or a flower piece.
Slow and steady wins the race right?
My preferred method is to start a fire using a bow drill. I then heat up some stones on the fire. These stones can then be added to a pot of water. This hot water can now be used to heat your alcohol safely. You’re welcome.

Man this just reminds me of how they would clean e rigs at the lounge I was at. They will spray etoh or iso mostly into the induction cups and turn the fuckers on to “burn it all off” while the entire place is inhaling those disgusting ass fumes. Even with the air exchanges it didn’t matter, you could be next door in their restaurant and smell the weed and iso. They had to have me install a huge carbon scrubber in the restaurant to help take care of the smells.
This has been the major issue at every single lounge I’ve ever been to.
My local lounge never turns on the air-handling system, so on busy nights, its a blunt-filled gas chamber of pulmonary suffering for everyone.
The other lounges I’ve visited out of state were not any better. The Planet 13 Dazed lounge air got really thick during the GLG party, but was the best situation I’ve come across with lounges.
I bet a customized and sealed parts washer designed for hot ISO could make a great addition to solve the ISO vapor issue. I’ve found carbon scrubbers to be pissing in the wind- but any better solution would be very expensive.
I think the cheapest solution is to have strict zoning and dump that nasty air outside where it won’t bother anyone.

Powdered carbon filter downstream from a condensing coalescing trap, essentially just a bubbler set-up chilled and full of water, changed out regularly.
The cold water that the air is forced through will assist in condensing the iso fumes/vapors so that the carbon filter isn’t just overloaded.
It would be interesting to experiment with closed system solvent-traps and cold traps for a commercial product, but every single commercial product I have purchased is pissing in the wind. The activated carbon needed to scrub the cannabis smells from the air is orders of magnitude larger than is feasible AND needs to be changed out regularly. I have a large commercial/hospital grade swiss air purifier with 5lbs of “ bitumous coal and potassium permanganate chemisorbant. ” one joint and the whole thing is saturated and useless.
