[Microbiology] Problem with cultivation on anaerobic solid media

In my lab we use hungate bottles only for the liquid anaerobic media and bi-
layer solid media. We have to do inoculations on solid meida only using 
Petri dishes in the anaerobic jar supplemented with gas-packs or controlled 
atmosphere anaerobic chamber. THere is a problem in the chamber: the cag 
mixture we use is 10% Hydrogen,   15% CO2 and Nitrogen as the rest. While 
incubating plates inside, the media dries up very quickly and an enourmous 
condensation is forming! IT is almost a lake of water there. 

IS there any product which would absorb an acess condensate? 
Thanks a lot
