Anybody use these? What are the pros and cons? How do you like them?

I know some people love them, but I find them difficult to use. They are wobbly. When you try to put them in the oven filled with liquidy cake batter, you have to be very careful not to spill. Or put them on a cookie sheet to stabilize them.

Silicone is great for spatulas and utensils, not for baking.

 

I use the USA pans. I love them. I recommend them to everyone.

Pizza pan, bread pans, muffin pans, muffin top pans (which I use for rolls and granola cookies) and cake pans....everything I make, comes out perfectly. Not exaggerating!

 

just sayin. (not a paid spokesperson) ^_^

Thank you for the thoughts. I would rather know now before I drop money on something.

 

I love my silicone utensils and oven mitts, but maybe it's not the best material for everything.

 

So far, I'm happy with baking in glass bread pans anyway.

 

Thanks for the link, Irish, I will check that out.

 

I think that for the future, I'm going to keep on looking for alternatives to teflon pans, because it seems like they don't stay nice very long and things start sticking to them quickly and ruining the finish. 

 

Irish, what do you use for a cookie sheet?

I like those USA pans, too. I have muffin pans, cookie sheets, a round pizza pan - the ridges help crisp up a gluten-free pizza crust.

They are really nice to use if you have something that will stick or is oddly shaped.  A lot of the gluten-free pizza crusts stick like crazy so I could totally see them being helpful.  I had a heart shaped silicone pan that made it really easy to get stuff out of for cakes, cookie hearts, or rice crispie hearts.  Had to toss it with my diagnosis though :(  I also had silicone muffin liners, they stand up on their own so you can pull out however many you need and just sit them on a pan and bake in them.  Most of the silicone pans you do have to put on top of a metal cookie sheet to avert disaster, though.  But they are really good at not browning the edges.

I always use parchment paper. No mess, no sticking and it is cheap at Costco. I use both glass and metal pans. Just lift up those brownies, cool on a baking rack, and slice with a pizza cutter (that has never been in contact with pizza in my case!)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
