Cross Contamination Dilema


homemaker

Recommended Posts

homemaker Enthusiast

I have a little dilemma...prior to going gluten-free ...I was baking bread for the entire family.

I have had a wonderful time baking my gluten-free Bread myself and having great success!

My dilemma is this...

How can I avoid cross contamination, other than cleaning and using

separate utensils?

AND

I presume it would be NOT a good idea if using a bread machine to use the same one...

I prepared my loaves of bread by hand prior to going gluten-free....

Any ideas? Tips? Suggestions?

Thanxs

I wish I could learn how to bake bread!!! I'm sure it's MUCH better than the loaves of gluten free bread I buy at the store! Anyway, I have a couple suggestions:

1) Make sure you have two completely different prep areas for your bread making. One should be strictly your gluten free area and should never ever be used for making the other type of bread. That will always be the place you make your gluten free bread.

2) Get another bread maker. I know that with most of those bread makers you can wash the pan part, but I would still worry about glutteny flour being left in the machine and thus CC issues. You could simply get two different color bread makers. The red one is always for your gluten free bread -- any one else looking at it knows that red means "STOP" and do not put any gluten ingredients in here. The other one could be white or whatever color you already have.

3) Buy two sets of utensils -- one for your gluten bread and one for your gluten free bread. I know I have read of several people on here that will buy a certain brand of utensil just for their gluten free cooking. The rest of family knows that the pampered chef utensils (or whatever brand you choose) are ONLY for gluten free cooking. They are not ever to be used with gluten containing products. That way you lessen your chances of CC even more.

Hope that helps some!

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health...

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any...

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like...

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity. ...
