I Need To Replace My Springform Pan, Don't I?

I made a lovely gluten-free chocolate truffle cake for my son's birthday and brought it to my great aunt's house to share w/everyone. When I left the room, my well-meaning aunt took the ring part of the springform and washed it in her sink. I came back and saw that it had been cleaned, and that she had removed the rest of the cake to a plate and was reaching for the bottom part of the pan. I said "Oh please don't clean that, it's very important that I keep it gluten free!". She looked at me like I had two heads and said "I'm just going to wipe it off" and before I could grab it from her she dunked it in her sink and started scrubbing it with her washcloth. The water was full of pieces of (gluten-filled) coffee cake, and so was the blasted washcloth. My face just crumpled, but I didn't say anything more to her; she's 80 and has NO clue about this food stuff.

Anyway, the pan had been in use for a few years and has a few scratches. Plus, a springform has lots of places for gluten to hide. I probably need to buy a new one, huh? *sigh*

I'd put it in a bath of bleachy water and call it good. The fact that it wasn't BAKED with anything gluteny, rather was washed in with something, doesn't concern me.

I'd give it a good scrub with a soapy water and a brush to get into nooks and crannies and call it good.

I'd be just fine washing it well and continuing to use it.

Oh seriously? :D You guys just made my day! I didn't realize that baking was the issue; not just exposure. Thank you!!!

Yep, agreed. Give it a good scrub.

If you are extremely concerned with keeping your bakeware gluten free, don't take it out of your house. In the future, remove the cake from the springform prior to leaving your house and put it on a paper plate. That way your bakeware stays gluten free and you don't need to worry. By using disposable plates you don't need to bring any dishes home.

I wouldn't be even slightly concerned about this.

I wouldn't worry about this either.

In fact the celiac support group a friend of mine goes to swears you can put old non stick pans on the stove, boil a vinegar/water mixture in them and give them a good scrub to remove gluten contamination. I chose to give away all my old pots and replace them with new but if I had a newer pot/pan that had been very temporarily contaminated (1 gluten grilled cheese cooked on it by accident or something) I would try this out.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
