I have always broken in my gloves with oil and practice. I decided to hurry this one along by using the suggested oven tip I have heard about in the past. “Oh, just put your glove in the oven!” I never believed them, because I feared it would catch fire. I thought I was wrong. My Easter was ruined today.

    It’s not a lie, it’s a prank. I sympathize, but baking a baseball glove at 350 degrees is simply absurd.

      I didn’t read about it online first, but a friend and I once microwaved some weed to speed up the curing process. It didn’t work at all.

      At least OP didn’t first come across that story about microwaving your IPhone in order to charge it.

        There is a microwave technique for drying weed if you want to smoke it quickly. It will taste extremely green though. There’s nothing you can do to replace a good cure.
