Can I Use My Old Canisters For Baking Supplies?

Since my son and I have been diagnosed with celiac disease I am making the whole house gluten free. I tossed all my old baking ingredients and I'm replacing them with gluten free versions. I emptied all my canisters (plastic) and ran them through the dishwasher. Can I use them for the new gluten free supplies or should I just toss them out? If I have to replace them of course I will. I have so many I don't want to spend the money to replace them if a round or two through the dishwasher is sufficient.

I guess that all depends. If they are a soft plastic and could have any scratches or nicks or if there could be any places where gluten could hide (I used to have some that had lids that had several pieces to them) then you should probably replace them. Otherwise, they might be fine.

they are like Open Original Shared Link so I guess the tops might be a problem.

Don't forget your baking spices. I used to dip my measuring spoons in multiple ingredients and occasionally use them to stir some dry ingredients together so mine were contaminated.

      @trents You're right, thanks for pointing that out. On @somethinglikeolivia comment regarding potential ingesting or cross contamination; there is a product marketed in Australia as "GluteGuard" which is designed for just this scenario. It is not a defence for and is not recommended for use by full-blown celiac disease but, it helps those with GI. I'll be reading slower in future so I don't skim over the subject matter. Cheers.

      @N00dnutt, as OP explained earlier, she had a gastroscopy done earlier while she had been eating plenty of gluten for months. It was negative despite strong positive antibody scores.

      The best way to determine positively is to undergo a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinologist will assess the condition of your "Villi". These tenticles are what extract the nutrient from what we ingest. The Protein in Gluten is like acid to these tenticles.
