Re: baking engine mounts.
I'd happily bake-up a new torque rod.
Cooking your own rubber?
Cookable liquid rubber?
remove bad rubber, pour in new rubber, ruin kitchen equipment = newwwww : torque rod

Re: baking engine mounts.
Baking old engine mounts pretty much is a band aid and doesn't even work with hydraulic mounts, or the type of "hanger"-mount which the 360 mount is. If the rubber has stretched and cracked, the baking won't doo any good because the rubber has already lost it's original form. You can stiffen up common rubber mounts a bit with baking them, but that's only a band aid fix...
Another thing is making your own hard-to-find or NLA rubber bushings and such by vulcanizing. It's quite an easy process, all you need is some suitable rubber sheet material and an oven with a thermostat.
Here's an example of a leaf spring bushing made with this process. Text is in Finnish, but there are good pics.

For larger bushings and such he uses 5mm Bandag retread rubber sheet originally meant for retreading truck tires and 1mm adhesive rubber sheet for smaller parts. 120 celcius degrees and one hour for curing of 1cm thickness.
