Problem With Tinkyada Pasta

I used to love pasta salad but when I first became gluten free I made pasta salad using Tinkyada pasta and found that after 2 days in the refrigerator that pasta was extremely hard as if I had barely cooked it. I tried added more dressing to it but that didn't work so well. I hadn't made pasta salad in 2 years but for the fourth of July I thought I'd try it again. I started with more salad dressing that I did previously so it had more moisture to soak up but again after 2 days in the refrigerator I found it very unappetizing. I really like Tinkyada pasta and if I cook extra and store it in the refrigerator it reheats well, but without reheating and eating it cold it's just hard/ Does anyone have any suggestions to keeping the pasta softer while in the refrigerator?

This is just the nature of our gluten-free pastas I think. I don't make pasta salad but I am told that it is best made and eaten the same day. Maybe others will share their experiences as well. I do occasionally use leftover pasta the next day in hot pasta dishes or soup. Just immerse the pasta in boiling water for a few seconds and drain and top with sauce or toss with the sauce in a pan or place in a bowl and pour the hot soup on top.

What would happen if you added oil to the water while cooking the pasta? I'm thinking the oil would get soaked up and maybe, just maybe keep the pasta softer. Just a thought, but I suspect it would still be best eaten the same day. If you want to keep it longer, perhaps freezing it would help. That works for gluten-free breads anyway.

No!!!! Do Not put oil in with your rice pasta! I tried it. Bad idea. It turns your pasta to glue, it's terrible. I have found that if I slather pasta salad with mayo and a crapload of dressing, it'll keep for 36 hours. Can't really hope for much more.

I've made macaroni salad about 3 times this summer already with Tinkyada elbows, veggies and mayo and have had no problem with it. It kept for about 4-5 days in the fridge and didn't seem to get hard. I cooked the pasta like it said on the front of the package - boiled for 2 minutes, covered and let sit for 18-20 minutes. Maybe it was the mayo that kept it moist.

I know it is kind of a pain but I keep the ingredients seperate....I make up the "dressing...mayo, or italian dressing, veggies, spices and keep them seperate from the pasta....I add the pasta when I am ready to eat it...the Tinkyada stores well

I suggest someone to email them and ask what Tinkyada says to do.

After watching a report years ago about all of the nasty bacteria and fungus that grows on leftovers in the fridge (and the amount of nasties is just staggering), I simply will not eat anything past the 24-36 hour mark. My husband laughs about it. But I wont touch it if it has been in there longer than a day or so.

There are old posts stating the same things here. One said to pack on the mayo too.

I'm with you! I get laughed at too. I also will not eat anything that has been sitting out for more than 2 hours. It's just not worth getting sick.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
