Broody abandoned actively hatching eggs! No incubator!

[MROO]

QUESTION: Has anyone had luck using a brooder plate for an improvised hatching station?
Cleaning out the scatters of an abandoned broody nest, I found two dead pips.
Started to open one ... and it gasped, bled and peeped! My N360 'bator's power cord suddenly decided to fail, so I now have a partly zipped egg in my unmentionables. I planned to candle the other 14 eggs (there were four broodies on a communal nest,) but now I'm scrambling to find my little candling flashlight.

EDIT to Add: I can likely find my old brooder light, if I need it, but it's going to need a thorough cleaning, first - which is really difficult to do while your brassiere is peeping!

People had successful hatches putting the eggs on or rather above wet towels in their oven at a low temperature setting.
But you would need something like wire basket or similar to prevent them from falling from the baking tray.

Maybe rig up some kind of wire screen.

Do you have a slow cooker that has option to set exact temperature?
