Can You Clean Gluten Out Of A Food Processor?

I've had so many questions lately, as I have done so much more cooking/baking on my own and I am getting extremely overwhelmed. 

 

I know glass and stainless steel are the best for cooking in...I use Pyrex for a lot of baking and I recently bought a set of stainless steel pots/pans. 

 

My boyfriend got a food processor from his parents. He wasn't sure if it was used or not - but when we took it out to use it it had crumbs/dust in the top and brown stuff down the sides (looked like soda maybe? Not at all sure)

 

I do have slight OCD (that has definitely gotten worse in terms of worrying about cc) so I didn't deal with it and we put it away. I am fine hand washing or throwing the parts in the dishwasher (assuming they are dishwasher safe) but I am not sure if that will be enough to really clean it. I know food processors are expensive and I don't want to just give it back if there is a way we can use it. My boyfriend still eats gluten so I think that is part of the reason I am finding it difficult to relax while preparing all of this food, and trying to prepare it safely. 

 

What is the general consensus? I have no idea how old this processor is, how many times it was used, what it was used for - etc. I'm not even positive if it was used, but it is definitely dirty. 

 

My BF said he thinks his mother got rid of it because she tried to use it and it wasn't strong enough.

 

Thanks in advance!

Food processors are made of hard plastic typically and I personally wouldn't have a problem using a well cleaned used one. You'll probably want to give extra attention to scrubbing the blades.

I think it depends on the food processor. If you feel you can get the crevices clean, use it!

I agree  with Kareng! and  if  you decide  to use  it  I would take a clean toothbrush to it!

Thanks guys! I'll have to look at it when I am at his house again. He already told his mom we didn't want it, though (using the excuse that it wasn't strong enough) but if I can salvage it I will. Apparently he was looking into blenders/processors on his own since he doesn't know what to get me for Christmas, lol!

 

And I should be getting my spiralizer tomorrow, I can't wait to make zucchini pasta!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
