How to keep safe staying at someone else's house?

We are staying in a cabin for a week. It is fully stocked with food, spices, kitchen supplies, everything you might have in your own kitchen at home. It is only used maybe three months out of the year. I am bringing my own kitchen stuff (skillets, serving spoons, bowls etc) and of course our own food. I am wondering what else I need to do to avoid cross contamination beside not using their toaster or oven. I don't want to be sick on the only vacation we get a year. What are your best tips?

It sounds like you have a good handle on it already. You might want to bring either your own silverware or get disposible and of course don't use any of the provided spices etc. Other than that I would just wipe down the counters before perparing your food and unless the oven is dirty I wouldn't worry about using it as long as your not putting anything on the racks. if the cabin has a grill outside do make sure your food isn't coming incontact with the racks. Have fun and try not to worry you should be fine with the preperations you have made.

Freezer/Butcher paper, lay it out and use it for cooking and prep surface, even go the extra mile and use it for serving on like a table mat or table cloth. It also makes clean up a breeze as you just toss the sheet. 
Foil and parchment paper. great for lining ovens, baking dishes, baking pans, grills with to give you a clean cooking surface.

Bring all your own condiments, spices, etc. I like to carry my own in a chef kit. I recently fell in love with BIG AXE no salt spices and they are gluten free find them on amazon. Flavor god also makes some good all rounders. I tend to bring my own griddle and Nordic ware microwave cook ware when I head out. The nordic ware has everything from grilling plates, bacon cookers, omelette makers, steamers, rice cookers, and popcorn makers all for the microwave.

      New diagnosis

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've tried a few bread recipes but I am by no means an expert. However, this recipe is the best bread I've made to date. It uses 3 grains (or their flours if you prefer) and requires a strong blender (like a Vitamix) but no bread machine. I use it to make English muffins or a loaf of bread. The muffins are a little easier to make and the bread comes out in premade portions. It passes the sandwich test and it tastes great over several days (to my taste, store-bought gluten-free breads tend to lose their flavor on the second day) This recipe is pretty flexible in terms of varying ratios or types of grains.  https://www.instagram.com/p/DPDnyaJjpHh/

      I don't have a bread machine but it sure looks like the bread I remember from BC. This is on my "to do" list.

      By trents · Posted

      I think seafood in general will be high in iodine.

      This recipe was created by a scientist and posted years ago. I will admit I haven't made it, but it's also supposed to be quite good:

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That sounds like really encouraging progress, and it is great that you are narrowing things down so carefully. It can be surprising how something like added iodine in a milk alternative might make a difference for some people with dermatitis herpetiformis-type symptoms, so your note may definitely help someone else who is still dealing with that last bit of itching. It also sounds like you are finding a more comfortable routine with almond and soy milk, simple safe meals, and watching individual triggers like tuna without feeling completely restricted. This really is a learning curve, and keeping track of what improves or worsens symptoms is often the only way to spot patterns. I hope the dermatology appointment goes well...let us know.
