I was wanting to find out if anybody had tried any of these food-tek products. They look interesting. They are mixes that you mix up and then cook in the microwave. Some look pretty wierd, but some look ok to try out. I'm curious about the taste.............soooooo fill me in if you have tried them!!

Well don't be mad at me if you don't like them, but I think they're sooooo good!! The bread is nice and spongey like regular (gluten) bread! I really recommend the cake too. Yum yum! I too was skeptical, but it's GOOD! :P

You don't know what you are missing if you don't place an order. All the cakes, bread and cornbread are awesome! My kids love them and they are so quick and easy. I can't say enough good things about them. Actually saw them do a demo, by one of the owners, at a support group meeting and tasted first hand and have been hooked ever since.

I was thinking that they would be good for those "cravings" so you guys have totally convinced me for that and since everybody says they are good I am going to have to try to get ahold of some :) Thanks!

I had no clue those even existed. I know what I am adding to my shopping list this week.

Anyone have to order online (there isn't a store that carries them here) what's the turn around?

they had a booth at the canadian celiac convention, and they had two dairy-free choices... one they were making (it was the cornbread). it was okay, but frankly, homemade cornbread is SO much better.

I got my food-tek food in the mail today. I was SOOO excited. I baked myself a chocolate cake and frosted it with yummy chocolate frosting. It was very good! I'm impressed.

I got to looking at their website today and they are the folks who make the stuff that bakes in easy bake ovens for kids. So I wrote to the man that I had written to before and asked if he has considered making a gluten free mix for the easy bake ovens. I'm excited to see what he has to say back.

Wouldn't that be totally awesome if your kiddoes with celiac could have an easy bake oven too!! I know that was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid!

I decided to try out the white bread mix. I added water, mixed until lumps were gone and poured the batter into the two cute little bread shaped molds. :P Microwaved until it was done.

Then I decided that I would make french toast out of this bread. It turned out super!! Mixed an egg with some milk and cinnamon and fryed in a pan. YUM!! I'll save the leftovers to warm in the toaster oven for breakfast tomorrow morning.

I have had fun making these little mixes today!!

Jessica,

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed them as much as I did! I always hesitate to "recommend" gluten-free products, as I think my definition of "tastes good" has changed the longer I've been gluten-free!!! :lol:

I got this e-mail from Food-Tek today...........how exciting!!

Hi Jessica:

I've been reading your posts to the group and to Celiac.com. It's nice to know we have another fan!

We have developed and manufactured items for Easy-Bake (and a number of other "food-toys") for over 15 years. Currently, we putting the finishing touches on a line we're calling "Quick-Bake Kids" - gluten-free mixes formulated and packaged for use in an Easy-Bake/toy oven. We'll be rolling out cookie, cake, and brownie mixes in the next 4-6 weeks.

Stay tuned, and thanks again for your enthusiasm!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
