Toaster Envelopes

Hey there... I was reading the Gluten Free Living magazine this week and there was a blip about these envelopes that go in your toaster, you put your bread in them and it covers them up, but toasts normally. They look interesting! I haven't tried these, but thought some of you might like them. I might get some for traveling, like in hotels. You can ck them out at:

Anyone ever try these? I just bought a new toaster for myself. Still haven't used it b/c its a pain to bring it up from the basement! (Hey--maybe I'll put mine upstairs and my husband's toaster in the basement! :D

I haven't used them, but they were discussed extensively a couple months ago at Delphi. They would protect the bread. I guess it might be good for traveling, when you want to be able to toast, but don't want to lug around a toaster. For at home on a regular basis, however, it would seem much more economical and logical just to buy a $10 toaster.

I use them for traveling. I keep them with my travel supplies and have also placed a couple in the glove box in the car. They were ordered from King Arthur when they had a free shipping sale.

We usually stay in a motel that offers continental breakfast. I carry English muffins, bread or corn bread tops (baked in hamburger pan). Any of these can be placed in the bags and into the toaster. The bags are reusable but I can't say for how many times. They are very hot when you try to remove them from the toaster. Small tongs would work but so will a couple of napkins.

I also carry dry cereal for longer trips as the baked goods don't last that long.

LOL, I don't really. I keep up on this board. The Delphi board I try to check daily, but it's usually every other day or so...and I don't post there (a whopping 60, total, lol), so it's just a matter of reading :lol: .

I purchased the toaster bags from Pampered Chef for my dorm living gluten-free child, worked out well. They wouldn't let her store a toaster in the cafe or have one in her dorm room so the bags were good. In the schools defense they did give her a key to the catering kitchen to use 24 hours a day and could leave the toaster in there.

What are they made out of? I get worried about chemicals cooking into my food with all of these types of products. I threw out my non-stick cookware 8 years ago when I read chemicals from the teflon coating seep into your food during cooking. Am I paranoid? :huh:

Seriously, do you think those little fire resistant baggies are likely to heat sear toxins into your toast? And while I'm thinking about this, does a celiac person risk gluten contamination if they use teflon coated pots that also are used to cook gluten containing meals? It seems like that nonstick stuff is kind of pourous. My son doesn't have his own set of pots for his meal preparations; only a separate strainer for pastas, etc.

Excuse me for babbling on. :wacko:

Umm...I'm not very chemically concerned, but I once found little black specks in my food--the teflon was peeling off onto the food being cooked on it...yuck. Now it's all stainless steel.

At this point I don't worry about teflon. We keep on teflon pan on hand for quick meals. However, once a teflon pan starts to get old, the teflon will begin flaking off b/c of cuts etc, so that's when I throw it away and get a new one...

jenvan, the site is www.kingarthurflour.com. Once upon a time I used most of their flours for my bread. They had an offer of several items with free shipping and the bags were one of the items offered. That was several months ago. You will also find pans for most baking needs there, but they are expensive.

Oh my ... We worry so much about food, gluten contamination, chemicals and now even the pots we use. Do you suppose there will ever be a time just to eat and have fun like everyone else? :(

Now, lets see ... I'm almost 59, I know that gluten will get me rather quickly, so will stay stricktly free of that. Anyone know how long it would be before the chemicals could get you? Organic is sooooooooo expensive. :huh:

Yeah Shirley---I consider buying organic a luxury--most people can't afford it! I rarely buy my fresh foods organic at this time, simply due to price. On our income--I can't justify paying almost $3 a pound for apples when I can get them for $1.29 a pound! Maybe one day...

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
