Flour Canisters

I'm looking for some nice quality canisters that will hold my homemade gluten free flour blend and my coconut flour.

 

I was considering buying them on Amazon, but am concerned by quality after reading some of the reviews. I don't want something cheap and flimsy that will get dented up easily or not seal well.

 

Any suggestions?

I get glass one's at Hobby Lobby.  They have different sizes and have the rubber tight seal that is air tight.  Plus, they are seriously affordable. I keep all my different flours in them.

Something you can keep in the freezer is a good idea. Gluten free flours like rice don't keep as well on the counter as wheat flour would.

I would avoid glass if you are keeping whole grain/nut flours in the freezer, unless it specifically says freezer safe.  (I have learned that the hard way, lol)

 

I use snapware.  The name brand will last longer than the store brand, and they are square and stack nicely.  But definitely get something that is going to fit into the desired space... they make lots of shapes and sizes.

I have always kept flour in the freezer. It can last for years and years. Not sure about all the gluten free flours for the exact freezer life, but I am assuming it is the same or similar to wheat flour. I love glass to store, but I keep my flours in plastic sealed bins in my garage freezer. That freezer (on my third one) is invaluable!

King Arthur Flour makes some nice ones in a variety of sizes.  The special bread pans they make for gluten-free bread are also worth the investment.

lpellegr,

I haven't ventured into gluten free bread baking yet, but I recently bought some run-of-the mill stainless steel pans for gluten-free bread recipes. Haven't used them yet though...can you tell me how/why gluten-free bread pans are different? Will gluten-free bread baked in a regular pan fail? I'd love to borrow from your experience. Thanks!

The pans on the King Arthur site are USA Pans.  They have higher sides.  With Gluten free bread, if you use a regular size bread pan, the rising bread will fall over the sides of the pan.  It is well worth the investment for this pan.  Very sturdy and well made.

 

Good Luck

i use canning jars.  they will also work in the freezer.  

 

i actually use canning jars for lots of things - they are great for taking salads for picnics - macaroni, potato, ect <in the warm weather, you can put a big bowl of (say) potato salad into (say) 4 quart jars and then just take out one at a time.  clear glass, so you can tell what's in each one.  takes up less space on the table, and you are keeping the rest of it out of the heat.  we do this when we are camping, too :)  plus, they stand up in the cooler and are less likely to be 'drowned' with melting ice.  i have seen on pinterest & such, where people use them to make individual garden salads in smaller ones, then pour the dressing on them & shake & eat.  that sounds like something to try for this summer :)

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I struggled for a long time.   My TTG levels took an age to come down.  I even gave pure gluten free oats a miss, it took 8 years before I could tolerate them.  Removing dairy temporarily from my diet was hugely helpful.  Check your utensils and the oven you use are scrupulously clean, and don't open roast or bake food uncovered in an oven shared with gluten eaters.  Shared grills must be thoroughly cleaned down, too. Our oven packed up a couple of years after I was diagnosed and after that time the top oven became my family's oven, I use the lower oven.  Also our dishwasher - the old one left a residue, and sharing with gluten eaters I think this was an important factor in my slow recovery.  When the dishwasher packed up I started hand washing the plates and making sure they were really rinsed well.  When we got a new one we bought a Miele does the initial rinse with clean water, not yesterday's old water.   I stopped eating out for a while - that's a biggie.  In recent years, in the UK, thanks to Zoe's Law, caterers are having to really tighten up on catering for people with coeliac disease and allergies so I am now finding eating out much less risky.  But I'd advise being very careful with restaurants where flour is thrown about and is airborne (such as pizzerias) or where harried chefs might cook pasta in glutenous water by mistake, as those are the places I've been glutened in the most.

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒
