Used Oven and my Bakery

This is odd for me, been busy as of late, but my bakery is looking at doing more flat breads, round breads, and perhaps improved baking, we have been given a chance to purchase some ovens at EXTREME discount from a auction of a local business closing. The issue is...I have always had a gluten free everything new approach to my bakery equipment wise. These are used with gluten products...BUT I know we talk about 500F destroying gluten. These ovens are commercial and max setting is 550F one is a convection double stack bakery oven, the other is a Lincoln conveyor oven (used with pizza) DO you think and would you as a celiac trust food cooked in them if I ran a decon phase of 1-2 hours at 550F on them running the conveyor and racks in them cycling to burn off the gluten? I will regardless be using pans, foil sheets, etc in them but I want them clean and safe enough you can eat off the racks. Would you say the gluten would be destroyed in them after the 550F cycle?

My other approach is to get new conveyors for the impinger and new racks for the confection. But these would cost 6x what I would pay for the used ovens.....Or should I drop the idea of expanding?

I am very sensitive and I wouldn't hesitate to use them in my own home. Since you are going to use pans in the oven I wouldn't worry about running them for a couple hours before use. I would just clean them real well. If you were planning on cooking pizza directly on the conveyer then I would get a new belt but since you are not that wouldn't be a concern. Good luck at the auction.

My brother bakes gluten stuff a lot.  Cakes, pies, cookies etc.  I use the same oven to roast meats and other things.  I don't have a reaction to things I  bake/roast in the shared oven.  I don't use the oven at the same time he is using it though.  It works fine for me after several years of doing shared oven use.

It's not one of those convection ovens with a fan in it that blows stuff all over inside the oven though.  Those I wouldn't trust.

I always wondered what a convection oven did that was different. (I wasn't made for all these newfangled gadgets LOL) Wasn't aware they had a fan.  I would pass on that also unless there was a way to break it down real good to clean before running a high heat cycle.

Both use convection..but that is how commercial ovens work......they use forced hot air to cook faster. The impinger uses rolling blowers also..but I can take most of it apart and it is rated to 550F. I was thinking using my families machine shop and using a parts oven to bake some of the parts like the crumb tray, and conveyor rolled up in it. The other ovens are double stack bakery convection ovens on rated to 500F. I might just get them, cook a test batch in them, nima test it, try it, and if all else fails resale them on ebay. ....heck that impinger would be great for catering jobs roasting pans of veggies, potatoes, fish, bacon, for chef jobs. Round really allow me to get sheet pan roast meals of chicken and veggies out fast and open new windows for my catering gigs. -_- Pizzas in it would require either wire pizza pans or direct conveyor contact for crispy ones..... Thanks for your feed back I did no really think on the fans part of it.....I will have to see what they look like on the inside and look up parts manuals on them for how to take them apart and clean them out >.> Wonder if I can just light up the ducts with a blow torch.

Maybe you could clean them well and make some batches of grainfree dog treats and test those. Might make a good side line and once those test negative you would know the ovens are safe for us.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
