Microwave techniques?

[Scott K. Boyer]

Does anyone have any information on molecular biology techniques which use 
microwaves.  A colleque of mine had heard of techniques using microwave ovens 
to do restriction digests, but we can't find the references.  Also, I seem to 
remember something about using microwaves to lyse bacteria for doing minipreps 
and also for doing colony blots?  I would appreciate any leads on these 
techniques.
