Resource For Updating My Kitchen Products?

So last night it dawned on me that I probably need to replace all our cutting boards, amongst other things. I'd like to do this right. Is there a list somewhere that tells me which kitchen items to get rid of and which ones to keep?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't know if someone has a list compiled but here are a few basics:

Can Opener, (I put this first cause mine got me for ages :D )

Toaster

Non stick and coated pans that are scratched

Cast Iron pans (some have ones that they have been able to get clean and reseason but it is a process)

Wooden Utensils

Cutting Board

Bread Maker

Things like glass ware, ceramics and mixer should not be a problem as long as you are able to get them really clean. Forks can be stinkers, I took a real close look one day between my tines and was shocked. A nylon net scrubby can take care of that really quick.

Also if you use a dish washer make sure you clean it out real good and I also replaced my silverware drawer liner and vacuumed out all the drawers. Amazing how many crumbs can accumulate under the stuff you don't look at often.

There are most likely quite a few things I have forgotten but I know others will think of them.

I did what Raven recommends.

I kept my stand mixer but gave away the cheap handheld because I could see alot of flour in the front vents and couldn't get it out.

I am one of those who cleaned and kept cast iron pans. Put them in the oven on the cleaning cycle. When they're done they and the oven are a powdery mess and require a thorough cleaning and reseasoning but I don't have any problems and am still sensitive to CC.

I also replaced scratched metal pots and pans, bake ware and anything that is difficult to clean, like strainers, whisks, etc. I bought a new deep fryer too.

Raven really sums it up. I did away with all scratched up pots and pans. I got my own toaster. I started putting all my special food in one area.

I also did a complete organization of all our stuff. It gave me an excuse to purchase the things we had been putting off for years.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      @trents I do like the idea of the shake! yes. I was expecting to have all my blood tests that were celiac related to be positive. I guess I’m confused about why they wouldn’t be. Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state. @RMJ how impre...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      I can’t imagine eating 4-6 slices of bread per day, either. You just need wheat, it doesn’t have to be bread and it doesn’t have to whole wheat. If a piece of cake or a doughnut is about the same size as a slice of bread it’s probably roughly equivalent. Or you could do what Trents suggests and just buy powdered gluten. Gliadin X can help by “digest...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      @Shining My Light, what do you mean when you say "the blood test not being 100%"? Were you expecting all possible celiac blood antibody tests to be positive in the case of someone who actually does have celiac disease? That seldom, if ever, happens. You are gauging too much on how you feel when you consume gluten and not paying enough attention to test...

      Hi @RMJ, Thank you for you input. I really appreciate all view points on this, more than you know. Maybe I’ve done too much research. One thing I read would point to yes and then along comes all these variables that convinces me that my levels were high because of having a virus. I don’t like bread or pasta that much but seriously lov...

      @Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of autoimmune conditions. You need to also understand that the degree and number of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and symptomology depends on a number of factors. For instance: 1. How many "celiac genes" are involved? Homozygous or heterozygous? and which genes? DQ2?, DQ8? or both? 2. How long ago was the onset of the celiac disease? How long has it been acting on the body? 10 months or 10 years? That will make a huge difference. 3. How much gluten has the person been accustomed to consuming since onset of celiac disease? The more they consume, the more damage you would expect. 4. What is the age of the person? Younger people have bodies that are more resilient than older people and can fight against disease more effectively. 5. What other health conditions is their immune system being tasked to deal with? 6. What is their general state of vigor? Some people just have stronger constitutions than others.

      @trents I do like the idea of the shake!  yes. I was expecting to have all my blood tests that were celiac related to be positive. I guess I’m confused about why they wouldn’t be. Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state.    @RMJ how impressive to be able to make all those baked goods! I’ve been tasting some gluten free items. There is one thing I found that’s good and it’s Siete Cinnamon churro chips put over ice cream with chocolate syrup . Tastes like fried ice cream!  I’ve also noticed so many more things have a “gluten free” symbol on them. Restaurants mostly but also a lot of packaging. Maybe it’s always been there but obviously since my blood tests I’ve noticed.  I really hoped I would find someone who like me was sick a few weeks prior to getting their  TTG test and it was raised for a viral reason, or it’s a “fluke” or something else.

      I can’t imagine eating 4-6 slices of bread per day, either.  You just need wheat, it doesn’t have to be bread and it doesn’t have to whole wheat. If a piece of cake or a doughnut is about the same size as a slice of bread it’s probably roughly equivalent. Or you could do what Trents suggests and just buy powdered gluten. Gliadin X can help by “digesting” small amounts of gluten contamination.  You would NOT want to take it while eating bread/cake/doughnuts in preparation for an endoscopy because it could make your body react less. I have finally figured out how to make a number of gluten free baked goods. Cakes, cream puffs . . . My neighbors know they are gluten free but say they would never guess otherwise.

You are gauging too much on how you feel when you consume gluten and not paying enough attention to test results. If the idea of eating 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily to get 10g of gluten is repulsive to you then go the health food store and buy powdered gluten, weigh it out on a food scale, and make shakes with it. Many report that Gliadin X helps them in a significant way to ward off unpleasant reactions to minor gluten exposure, such as you would get in a cross contamination situation. It will not work to prevent reactions when used with large exposures to gluten.

      Hi @RMJ,   Thank you for you input. I really appreciate all view points on this, more than you know.  Maybe I’ve done too much research. One thing I read would point to yes and then along comes all these variables that convinces me that my levels were high because of having a virus.  I don’t like bread or pasta that much but seriously love baked goods.  I’m scared to give those up “for no reason”  I’m also scared to be doing damage to my body.    I’m stuck in a situation where I’m scared and confused either way.    It’s hard for people with silent celiac because you don’t “feel” like you are doing the right thing.    I did see some advertisements on here about Giliad X? Is that a supplement for gluten and is insulin for diabetes?
