Do dormant cables need "RE" Broken In? If so how long can they sit dormant?

Personally I believe new cables need a break in period, if anything, for my ears to get used to the sound difference. 

One buys a vintage cable that has not been used for years (My Case), A cable in storage, or a current cable connected where one has not used that component for some time..................how long can a cable sit before it needs "re broken -Iin" or does the initial, new break-in is all that is needed for the life of the cable?

 

Just curious if there are any rules of thumb amongst cable experts.

Isn't the purpose of "cooking" cables just a matter of moving valence electrons around to break in a cable?

Can't someone just have an appropriate source of current and voltage such as a power supply of the proper voltage connected to the cables and then to a lightbulb, motor (or similar) and accomplish the same goal for pennies on the dollar?  This is just how my mind works... 

That should do it.... 10,000 dollar cable "cookers" are more for guys with IQ below room ambient temperature.
