Yep, just get a big enough of a pot so they're submerged (and make sure they're full of water, by letting the air out before sticking them in).
Just as in the oven/baking method, 10 or 15 minutes should cover getting it done - but both are things you have to keep an eye on and keep checking. Don't leave 'em in till they're done like a cassarole, stand over it and pull one out from time to time to check if the bond's broken.
Otherwise, your wife will come home and the house will smell like you've been cooking old tennis shoes and she won't let you in the kitchen even to grab a beer.
