Hi Bob,
Canon's operational spec for their gear is 0degC to 40degC, so I
was relaxed about the camera in this particular Microwave + fan-
oven etc. combo. I did protect it from radiant heat from the
elements in its roof by placing 2 layers of kitchen foil (alumin(i)
um) above it. Fortunately the lenses only suffered water
externally and didn't need any heat treatment. (I have wondered
if (non-L and unsealed) USM lenses would have survived as well on
account of their use of piezo elements. I'm not going to try
dunking my EF300 f2.8L IS USM though!)

Hi Malcolm,
My main concern is any adhesives used in the lenses.
It is good to hear that you saved the gear.

I would be concerned about causing migration (or far worse,
vaporization and subsequent condensation) of any lubricants in the
assembly.
