Cleaning pasta maker

Hi, 

maybe someone out there has a brilliant idea. 

I used to enjoy making fresh pasta at home. In the meantime, byebye gluten. I would like to dust off my pasta maker and get back on it with a gluten-free version. The question is.... how do I clean it? It is not possible to use water since it rusts. Maybe run pieces of gluten-free dough through it a million times until it picks up all the traces left? The machine is already pretty clean, looks like new. 

Any thoughts out there? 

Also.. a recipe for gluten-free pasta dough would be appreciated.

Few thoughts, 1. is it all metal and heat resistant? Only way to 100% decontaminate it would be like cast iron and some pots you can run them in your oven selflclean cycle at over 500F will destroy the proteins that make up gluten short of that....toss it to many nicks, crannies and possibility to harbor gluten.
2. I would be tempted to try making a dough with sweet rice flour that is really gummy mixed with warm water and see how that forms up, psyllium husk powder makes a super doughy stretchy texture when mixed with warm water this mixed in with it and some eggs could work....I make a fun to eat gummy cookie dough treat that is super stretchy like a yeast gluten dough from 2 scoops Naked Pea pure pea protein, 1/8th tsp pure stevia, 1 tsp psyllium husk, and 1tsp ground cinnamon wisk sift and mix with 8oz hot water. That texture reminds me a bit of pasta dough and makes me wonder about using the psyllum with flours as pasta mix.

Is it one of those cheaper hand cranked ones?  If so, I would just get a new one.

whatever kind it is, if you can’t clean it, I wouldn’t want it.  I have had the hand cranked before Celiac and we washed it.  Sounds kind of gross to never wash it

It is a traditional, stainless steel, hand cranked, italian pasta maker. I tried to insert a picture, but somehow I can't make it work. 

Maybe I can take it apart to be thoroughly cleaned. 

They are not supposed to be washed. It is not gross at all. Properly made dough leaves no visible residue. (But it will leave traces of gluten, that is for sure)

It has gluten residue......in my mind that is grosser then SOO many other things. The reaction to it places many disgusting non food items or bad rotting food items as preferred over gluten residue. -_- you get this mind set after a while, or maybe it is just my once hit I stay way from things like a beaten dog. Regardless....gluten....ew gross....BURN IT WITH FIRE.

Oven self clean 500F+ or get a new one are your options.

I think it would make a great gift for a pasta loving friend or relative!

There's videos online for cleaning them:

and I'm sure they do a good job, but I'd be worrying about a stray gluten particle. I guess you could like you say make a couple of dummy runs and give your friends some gluten free pasta they didn't ask for at which point hopefully it would be ok. If you decided to keep it I would wash it very thoroughly then place it in an oven at low temperatures for a couple of hours. This would remove all the moisture and address the rusting issue at least.

I have never made pasta with a pasta maker (just used to cut noodles by hand), but I did have to part with the family lamb cake mold we used for Easter.  It was so detailed and ancient, that I could not get it clean enough to give me piece of mind.   Because the bottom line is that health (mental and physical) is all that matters.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
