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.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
