I don't boil my starter, I just get the temp between 175-200 and hold it there for 10-15 minutes, turn off the heat and let it cool to pitching temp on its own.
Several times I've been tempted to simply dump some DME into a beaker full of water and stick it on the stir plate. Once the stir plate has it mixed, dump the yeast in. Maybe not even wait and dump the yeast in with the DME, the lag time for the yeast should give the stir plate time to homogenize everything.
I think I might be searching for the answer to "How lazy can you get?" :rockin:
