I just scale one of my house lager recipes up a few gallons and collect the wort in mason jars pre boil. I have a table top burner and a 16 quart pressure canner on my brew system I use to can the jars while I'm boiling the rest of the batch. No extra time and no special brew session for starter wort. I just started doing it this way and has saved allot of time.

I’m picking up lots of great ideas on this thread, and this is definitely something I will be doing. Gives me something to do with my sad lowly propane burner while the high and holy pompous eBrewery brags about it’s perfect temperature control.

Yes I just personified my brewing gear. Yes I have a problem.
 
I run off a gallon or so of second runnings while the boil kettle gets up to temp, figure it doesn't cost me anything extra and there's enough room in the hops freezer for a few jars of starter wort.
