Time For A New Toaster

We did replace our toaster with an inexpensive toaster and we hate how it toasts. We are finding the gluten free breads toast differently.

What brand of toaster do you like?

I'm looking for the same thing! I've bought two toasters since I went gluten-free and don't like either one of them.

I bought myself a new crumb-free toaster oven as it is so nice to broil/heat, roast, etc. small quantities sometimes in addition to making toast. It is a Black and Decker and got it half price.

Is that the one that takes you 3 hours to toast two slices of bread? laugh.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

The very one! I was wondering whether that would be mentioned. That bread was something special, that's for certain. Thank goodness it only takes a few minutes for all other breads I've tried. :P

I had an ancient (like 20 years old!) black & decker toaster oven. It still worked, but cleaning the inside was hazardous, it had sharp edges, and no slide out crumb catcher tray. After reading something on here I decided to bite the bullet and got a new one, also a black & decker. It's taking some getting used to, but cleaning is much easier! And I often also use it to warm up left-overs, which is why I prefer it over a regular toaster.

We toast a LOT in our house and have a Red (heart healthy!) Hamiltion Beach Toastation.

My daughter eats Trader Joe's gluten-free bread and it leaves little BLACK, burnt crumbs. It needs

to be "swept" out daily with a little brush or it builds an awful crust fast. I keep the pan that

came with it on the oven grill all the times. There is a lot of fat

in this bread?! That's all I can come up with. Not so with Food For Life gluten-free English muffins.

Even though there is no nutritional value in either! My pet peeve....

Anyway, I would post a link but I haven't figured out how :(

You can see them on the HB website.

Nice unit, just what you want. Because of the gluten-free nature,

it will need to get replaced every 4-6 years. I got mine

on sale at K-Mart, $27 w/o tax. It has glass bulbs, which I

find far better than metal threads.

I'm looking for a plain ol' toaster...the pop-up kind. I don't need the bread to automatically lower itself or any fancy bells and whistles...no blinking lights or alarms to tell me that it's done. I had one that had a single long wide slot and now they're hard impossible to come by. It has to fit in my appliance garage so I don't want a toaster oven. I want a toaster that just toasts and does it well...you know, the kind they used to make years ago. I'm actually thinking perhaps no manufacturer knows how that's done any more. laugh.gif

We got a cheap one. I think it was around $10. Toasts just fine. The only problems are that it isn't a cool tough and the gluten-free bread is so lightweight that it throws the toast and we then have to find it.

I was in a gluten free restaurant and had a wonderful toasted sandwich. I asked how they toasted it and they told me that they just put it in a pan on the stove with NO butter or anything, just dry, and then flip it. That's what we do at home now, and we love how it comes out! :-)

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
