Marble Rolling Pins

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I think that wood rolling pins aren't quite OCD friendly enough for me. LOL! The kids held the rolling pin and rolled out gluten free playdough once while their hands were contaminated by touching another gluten source and now I won't let the thing touch my dough. Maybe I'm being overly paranoid, I don't know.

 

Anyway, I was thinking about getting a marble rolling pin so that I can actually wash the thing thoroughly if anybody touches it with gluteny hands. Does anybody have one of these? How do you like it?

Love my marble rolling pin. I think the weight makes it easy to roll the dough. I haven't used it since going gluten free, however.

Sometimes you have to make your own judgement calls.  I feel that MOST things can be washed well with soap and water. If I owned a roller, it would be marble as it would help keep the batter/dough cool as well as  easily washed.

 

Before your kids, or other kids delve into the gluten free play dough, ask that they wash their hands well (perhaps with supervision) so that the play dough can be used for another day. :)

I suppose that it was probably such a minute amount of gluten that possibly got on the rolling pin, that I probably could scrub it down and bleach it and it would be clean enough. It's not like I rolled out wheat pastry crust with it.

I have a marble one. Funny thing is, when I roll out gluten-free dough of any kind, I put plastic wrap on the top and bottom so it doesn't stick!

But.... I don't really see what is wrong with your wooden one? Your kids might have had a teeny bit of gluten on their hands when they used it ? Just wash it off! If any gluten got on it, it probably fell off the handles a along time ago.

Good, thanks for the input. My thoughts were that the kids handled the gluten free play dough with their contaminated hands and then rolled the contaminated playdough out with the rolling pin. I know now, not to allow the kids to use my rolling pin on play dough, because I still see tiny specks of color on my rolling pin. LOL.

 

But anyway, I washed it with bleach and soap and then threw it in the dishwasher. Hopefully that will be enough.

Funny you mention the plastic wrap, because lately I have been still using my rolling pin, but I typically roll out the dough between plastic wrap or waxed paper, so that the pin is not actually touching the dough.

I love mine. It is a bit heavier than a wooden one. I bought mine with a bracket that it rests in. I will never switch back to a wooden pin, because the marble gets the job done in less time. I hope you buy one.

Soap and water would be best and a dishwasher run if you think, but bleach is not needed. Bleach may kill some germs, but a good scrup would dislodge any gluten remaining.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      gluten-free Canada finds

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   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.
