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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
