I did a no-boil earlier this year that turned out great. At 180F I added the extract and 8oz of various hops and walked away for 20 minutes, then chilled and pitched.

5 gallon batch size? What hops or hop combinations have you tried using?

I've had great results with the same temp/time (180 for 20 min) with Citra (1 lb DME and 1 oz Citra per gallon of water). But so far, other combinations (amarillo, centennial/cascade) have come out "just OK" at the 1 oz hops per gallon rate.
 
I have only brewed twice so far. Pale ale 15 minute and a hefe 60 minute, both extract kits.
Pale ale 3 gallon steeped specialty grains on heating.
1 oz Amarillo at 15 minute
1 oz cascade at 10 minute
1 oz mosaic at 5 minute
plenty bitter and aroma and flavor is great best pale ale ever. Like others have said it uses slightly more hops but was fast to brew. Bought chiller afterwards because chilling took longer then the boil.
