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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
