Are my bread pans/ muffin trays, etc. forever contaminated?

I've been transitioning gluten free for the last few months and just made the most delicious "gluten-free" bread... only to land totally fatigued in bed unable to move with my stomach pounding 30 mins after eating. I realized that I didn't give my bread pan a thorough washing before using it. I'm wondering if my bread pans and muffin trays are salvagable with a good cleaning? They are metal.

I found a similar thread that may have answered my question... check for scratches. Any other insights would be useful!

You can heat them really hot and the gluten will turn to charcoal which is gluten free. You could have another food sensitivity though besides gluten.

Do you by chance know what temp gluten breaks down at? 

I have been diagnosed celiac and IBS.

I don't know. I am guessing though that you could put a crumb or something similar in the pan. Once the crumb is completely turned to charcoal the pan is good to use.

Oh and I just thought that lining the pans with aluminum foil would probably do the trick? 

I'm also going to self-clean the oven

I would think that washing the pans in your dishwasher (not over loaded) a couple of times would clean things enough. If they don't have old grease cooked into them.

500F+ will destroy gluten proteins, Oven Self clean cycles exceed this and a commercial oven can go to 550F. A hour or so at this should destroy all gluten.

Unfortunately dishwashers now days use the rinse water from once cycle to clean in the next cycle to save water.....yeah not so good for CC issues now days.

For Bunt pans or thinks with a ton of crevices like spring form pans I would toss them and get new ones honestly.

If you need to get by cheap for awhile get some nordic ware microwave cookware. Of if you get the gill plates get the splatter cover as well thing is good to keep the  microwave clean and works over plain plates to.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try a thorough wash plus lining it and see if it does the trick. If not, I'll buy new ones.

Bread baking brings me too much joy to give up.

      4 Years and very little progress

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  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.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  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.

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do with some of the sick feeling. What have you done to gain the weight back? Foods? Workouts?
