Gluten Spill Clean Up?

[quietmorning01]

I did a search here to see if I could find anything on this subject, but I didn't find anything, please forgive if this has previously been asked.

My husband and I were discussing how to convert our kitchen to gluten free or make it usuable for us both. He is willing to go gluten free with me in order to facilitate the change over. . .but the foods are so blasted expensive, I'd like to avoid this if possible.

I thought that perhaps a solution of peroxide to soak the pots and pans and bake ware might be effective, as peroxide is known to break down proteins. . . but they use peroxide to bleach flour - and it has no effect on the gluten, so that's a go no where fast.

Has anyone found a cleaner that DOES effectively clean up gluten spills? Something we might be able to run the dishwasher with and use to clean the cook ware/utensils? (heh, and counters, cutting boards, etc)

If not, any ideas that might be a good experiment?

Thanks!

If you have plastic or any porous cooking utensils & cookware they need to go. NO way to get these safe after wheat cooking... Teflon needs to go... wooden utensils needs to go....

Stainless steel can be cleaned & re-used . cooking stones also need replaced...

hand mixer, bread maker, toaster, waffle maker & etc. needs to be replaced.

We found great sadness when we had to give up some of Grandma's treasures . I just washed them up & packed them away. Other stuff, bread maker, new mixer only used a couple of times I donated to a Women's Charity. As well as a lot of food...

It is better to be safe as I for one don't want to get sick for days for using a $3.00 spatula , just not worth it...

good luck

Utensils of non-porous materials that are NOT scratched can be cleaned. Non-stick cookware that has not been damaged through the use of metal utensils should not have scratches. Never use metal utensils on non-stick cookware, BTW.

Wood spoons and wood cutting boards are impossible to clean. So are sieves and toasters. Those items warrant unconditional replacement.

To be honest the only thing I replaced was my old egg skillet that was nonstick and very beat up. All the rest of what was mentioned, I kept and still use. I did buy my own toaster.

Now...that is not to say that if you are still having symptoms, you will have to take a closer look at all those things. So if this is something you only want to do once, I suggest you bite the bullet and replace everything.

Each person's sensitivity is different.
