Will New Nonstick Pan Become Contaminated?

My dh is finally coming around and supporting me about gluten contamination. He wants to get a new nonstick pan for frying potatoes. I am concerned that it will get contaminated accidentally even if we don't make anything with gluten in it. Am I being overly concerned? Since I am not living in a gluten free house, contamination is always on my mind.

As long as you don't cook gluten foods in it it will be fine.

Yeah, definitely should be fine. I have a couple of pans that are off limits: my small non stick skillet, my baking pans, which includes 2 cookie sheets that I use to make pizza. I'm the only one that bakes, so wheat flour floating around is not a concern, as there is none in the house. But, for the grilled cheeses and occasional frozen pizzas that my husband buys, he just knows better. ;) And I have no problems using those pans.

Or stick it in the dishwasher at the same time as something containing gluten.

Since a non stick pan is so easy to clean then its a good idea to get a different color washing cloth you can use on your gluten-free pans, plates and cutlery.

As long as you wash the pan than cross contamination is not an issue. The only problem would be if there was gluten containing residue in the pan.

      Worried about being isolated

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
