Safer and less expensive than Charles's idea. This is a good idea any time you transition between temperature extremes. Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I agree the baggy is a good idea. Remember to allow it to warm up before unzipping it and removing the lens cover.

Normally for me it's going into a hot house or equivalent which causes the problem, easy fix havea sit down for a couple of minutes with the lens hood off the lens sems to be the quickest way to let the camera climatise itself to it's surrounds and the condensation soon wears off.

Once the lens is fogged it can only be dried off by warming the lens to stop further condensation and then allowing the moisture to be evaporated or dried. Take off the lens cover and let the sun shine directly onto the lens. I suppose putting the lens on the dashboard of the car might even be quicker but remember excessive heat is not good for the camera either. If you use a microwave I suggest you experiment with someone elses camera and for that matter borrow their microwave as well.
Ha hA!
