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.

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
