How To Steam A Baseball Glove In The Microwave?

Is your baseball glove not as soft as you’d like? You can steam it in the microwave! Here’s how.

Introduction

Steaming a baseball glove is a great way to quickly break it in and get it ready for game use. While there are many ways to steam a glove, using a microwave is one of the quickest and most effective methods. This guide will show you how to steam a baseball glove in the microwave.

What You Need

To steam a baseball glove in the microwave, you will need the following supplies:
-A clean, unused sock
-A dryer
-A baseball glove
-A microwave oven

##Instructions
1) Place the sock inside of the dryer on the hottest setting for about 10 minutes. This will help to loosen any dirt or grime that may be on the sock.
2) After 10 minutes, remove the sock from the dryer and place it inside of the microwave oven. Set the timer for two minutes and allow the sock to heat up inside of the oven.
3) Once the two minutes are up, carefully remove the sock from the oven using a pair of tongs. The sock should be hot to the touch, but not too hot to handle. Place it inside of the baseball glove and close it up so that steam can begin to build up inside.
4) Allow the glove to steam for about 10 minutes before removing it from your hand. The heat and moisture from inside of the glove will help to soften and break in any new gloves.

Preparing the Glove

To prepare the glove for steaming, start by bringing a pot of water to a boil on the stove. Once boiling, lower the heat so that the water is just simmering. Then, place the glove in the pot of water and let it soak for about 5 minutes. This will help to soften the leather and make it more pliable.

Once the glove has soaked, remove it from the water and gently wring out any excess. At this point, you should also remove any loose dirt or debris from the glove with a soft brush.

Steaming the Glove

To steam a baseball glove in the microwave, you’ll need a container of water, a towel, and a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl of water in the microwave and heat on high for two minutes. Carefully remove the hot water from the microwave and place your glove in the bowl, making sure that all of the affected areas are submerged. Allow the glove to soak for five minutes, then remove it from the bowl. Use the towel to dry off the excess moisture, then place your glove in the microwave and heat on high for 30 seconds. Remove your glove from the microwave and allow it to cool before using it.

Letting the Glove Dry

It’s important to let your baseball glove dry out completely between uses. If you don’t, the leather will start to break down and the glove will lose its shape. You can speed up the drying process by using a hairdryer on the cool setting, or by placing the glove in a warm, dry place.

If you’re in a hurry, you can also use a microwave to steam your baseball glove. Just be careful not to overdo it, or you could damage the leather.

## Microwave Method

1. Wet a clean sponge and wring it out until it’s just damp.
2. Place the sponge inside the baseball glove.
3. Put the glove in the microwave and heat it on high for 30 seconds.
4. Remove the glove from the microwave and carefully feel inside to make sure it’s not too hot before putting it on your hand.

Conclusion

After testing out the two methods, we have found that the microwave is the best way to steam a baseball glove. It is faster and easier than using an iron, and it doesn’t require any extra water. All you need is a cup of water and a microwave-safe bowl.

If you have an iron, you can still use it to steam your baseball glove, but it will take longer and you will need to be careful not to scorch the leather.Fill a spray bottle with water and mist the inside of the glove liberally. Then, wrap the glove in a towel and place it on a flat surface. Place a steam iron on top of the towel and turn it on to the steam setting. Hold it there for 30 seconds to a minute, then check to see if the glove is dry. If not, repeat the process until the glove is dry.
