What’s the best way to keep my kitchen countertops gluten free?
Sponges are not only a large source of bacteria, but are also very likely to spread gluten around the kitchen! Use paper towels and disinfect surfaces frequently.
(Updated .)We just moved into a new house. Will using SOS on the oven racks and running a self-cleaning cycle make sure the oven is gluten free?
Yes, cleaning the oven racks with SOS and self-cleaning should take away all gluten particles. More importantly, most people do not typically cook food directly on oven racks, thus making the oven safe. When in doubt use aluminum foil as a protective liner.
(Updated .)If gluten is on a corner of a plate, pan or spatula, how long until it’s no longer poisonous for a celiac?
Gluten is a protein and must be physically removed via some sort of cleaning process in order for it not to contribute to a celiac’s toxic reaction in the gut.
