Another suggestion,

You could stick your block in boiling water for 2 hours for the same effect.

I'll have a look at the notes I made when I get into the library tomorrow, and check the temperature dependence of diffusion and recrystallisation.

Essentially, to see whether 15 minutes at 140 degrees or 2 hours at 100 degrees will result in more indiffusion of oxygen, though I strongly suspect both processes will have the same temperature dependence.
