Do I need a new bread machine?

[IdeWolff]

Hi everyone,

First post here... started gluten-free diet about a month ago (38 yrs old just diagnosed).

I purchased a bread machine a few weeks ago and used it a few times before discovering I was celiac.  Is it enough to give the machine a thorough wash or do I need to buy a new one?  

Thanks.

What if you just make a loaf or two of gluten-free bread and that ought to clean out any remaining crumbs?

Perhaps get a new bread basket for it...I would be concerned of gluten down int the bottom paddle or if any scratches. Check for parts?
I personally do quick bread that do not require the rise cycling with a machine and just mix and oven in a bread pan....my bakery has always done these.

I had a bread machine years ago.  It was nice to have bread ready to go in the morning.  Later, I tossed it.   I like kneading bread.  It was relaxing and gave me a good work out.  Gluten free yeast bread does not require kneading.  Just time to rise.  An electric mixer or your arm can handle the initial mixing.  Let it rise and then bake!  

My machine was well used.  I do not think I could have salvaged it .
