Methods for melting metals in space

I was wondering what the best ways for turning minerals mined in the asteroid belt into useable materials would be, so far I came up with three methods, utilizing nuclear, electromagnets, and finally using light from the sun to heat whatever it is I wanted up. Mainly, are those three acceptable choices, or are there options I'm overlooking?
