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.

    You didn’t pre heat the oven, exposing the glove to the oven’s full power. It needed to already be hot before the glove went in.
