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.

So, uh. That glove isn't leather. You don't need to break in a glove that isn't leather, because vinyl isn't going to shape to your hand with oils, etc. the way leather will. Same goes for shoes; unless your shoes are all leather, there's no break in period.

Yes, plastic will melt in the oven. And that's what your glove is. Or was.

[–] Freeman@feddit.de 21 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Never owned leather shoes an all of them had a "break in period". Probably different to leather but they change drastically the first 5-10h you wear them.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

With leather it usually takes weeks of wearing them at least 5-10h a day

[–] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

That's not beak-in, that's wear/wearing out as the padding gets compressed.

Break-in for leather is where it's molding to hit your hands, feet, body, etc.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 7 months ago

10 hours doesn't count as a break in period. Good leather boots can take a couple hundred hours. Good leather boots can also last thousands of hours longer than cheap boots.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 7 months ago

Did you wear them in the oven though?

[–] anguo@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

To add to that, the charred bits make me think they didn't preheat the oven.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 96 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

You gotta go low and slow. 12 hours (give or take) at 225°F until it gets to an internal temperature of 203°F and becomes fork tender. That way all the collagen and fat renders out.

[–] dream_weasel@iusearchlinux.fyi 17 points 7 months ago

I prefer to do mine on the grill with a few pieces of a louisville slugger Maplewood bat on the coals. Instead of 12 hours though I wrap mine in foil at about 7 hours when it hits the stall.

[–] korny@lemmy.world 94 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I hope you don't throw that glove out. You take it home and throw it in a pot; add some broth and potato, baby you got a stew going!

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 24 points 7 months ago

I think I'd like my money back

Hahahahahahahaa

RIP Carl Weathers

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 90 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 16 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] metaldream@sopuli.xyz 9 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Everyone knows you want to broil it

[–] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I sear mine on both sides first.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Rotisserie for best results

[–] WillFord27@lemmy.world 66 points 7 months ago

I'd still eat it. Just scrape off the burned bits with a butter knife, it'll taste the same underneath. The texture might be a bit off though

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 26 points 7 months ago (1 children)

still looks a bit tough. are you sure you got it up to 190 internal?

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

He didn't wrap it at the stall.

[–] skooma_king@lemm.ee 17 points 7 months ago

When I used to play I’d just put a new glove under my mattress for a night or two and it was good enough. Sucks you were misled about the material it was made from.

[–] frosty@pawb.social 15 points 7 months ago

I wouldn't say this is mildly infurating. :/

[–] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 13 points 7 months ago

Oh, it's a baseball glove.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 12 points 7 months ago

Scrape the burnt bit off with a butter knife it's still good under there

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

The char is part of the texture.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Oooo I love a lil burnt crust loaf, I'd eat it!

(then I saw the stitches)

[–] hiramfromthechi@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

At least you can say the experience was lit

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 7 months ago

Forbidden squash (or something)

That was fantastically relevant and awesome. Thank you.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 7 months ago

Be careful putting your balls in that thing! 👀

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world -3 points 7 months ago

Your Easter was ruined because you don't have common sense. Sorry, but that's just idiotic.
