The polish doesn't matter. Make sure you thoroughly wash your set before using to get all the gross industrial chemicals off!

Does anyone know how to clean stainless steal pans? I got a pretty inexpensive cookware set a while back and they seriously don't get clean...

I made gluten-free pancakes a couple weeks ago and there's pancake residue stuff all over one of the pans. How do you get it off??? :blink::)

I like to clean the big peices of food off with dishsoap and then I use orange oil to get the greasy residue off it, and then I wash it again with dishsoap mixed with baking soda to make it shiney.

If you can't find orange oil, I have heard of people using vinegar, although it doesn't smell as good and you might want to dilute it.

Thanks! I didn't know about the orange oil.

you might (okay you DO) want to wear gloves when working with orange oil, because in addition to taking the oil and grease off whatever you clean it with it will take the oils off your hands.

OH! Steel wool is not the best thing to use on stainless steel, someone can correct me if I am wrong on that, but I have a set of All Clad pans and in the cleaning intructions they say steel wool is a big No-No for cleaning stainless. Maybe it's different for other pans, I don't know?

Lister, here are some tips for cleaning the pans I have, I imagine they would apply to all stainless steel? (How great your mom got you a set!! :) )

Basic Care and Cleaning:

Don't overheat your All-Clad. Overheating can cause blue and brown stains to appear.

Never use metal utensils on your stainless steel surface or on the non-stick surface.

If your All-Clad becomes discolored, use a cleaner such as Bar Keepers Friend, Bon Ami, Twinkle, Cameo, or Wenol.

If you have any stubborn stains, burns or caked-on food, first try soaking your All-Clad in warm sudsy water (you shouldn't need to submerse the pan, just fill it up) for a while and it should clean right up.

For any really stubborn stains, use a soft scrub product, with a plastic or rubber scraper/pad

Do not use Brillo/Steel wool to clean your All-Clad. It may clean your pan but extended use is going to permanently damage your All-Clad.

For generalized "Bluing" of your stainless steel interior, bring two tablespoons of generic white vinegar and 2 cups of water to a boil, and the blue "film" should disappear.

Do not use oven cleaners or cleansers with chlorine bleach.

Do not use steel wool on your All-Clad Cookware.

I've been using SOS Pads and it does look nice and shiny. Does anyone know if that is Ok and gluten-free? LLee

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
