Re: accidentally glutened myself - how? - Part II

[Guest guest]

This is what we have done. Well, I didn't bake bread before my dh and dd were

diagnosed this summer, but we made the decision to save my sanity and only have

gf baking in the house. I was considering getting an extra pan for gluten

baking but there just seems to be so much flour dust that gets everywhere, it

seems next to impossible to really clean it.

We've used the GFP's bread mixes and everyone loved them. We have a family of 5

and can finish off a whole loaf in 24 hrs. too. So far only my 7yodd

(non-Celiac) has complained about any of the baking I've done, and especially

about the taste of rice pasta (even Tinkyada). One out of five isn't bad, I

guess. Even she loves the bread, though.

I find that I can not get all the bread crumbs out of the rubber

grommett at the bottom of the pan where the paddles attach. You could

call the maker of the bread machine and get a replacement pan for much

cheaper than a new machine.

Oh, I also baked gluten-free bread in my bread machine. But said bread

the pan in the machine, or the machine itself, manage to harbor gluten

get a new bread machine. Or worse, I'd hate have gluten-free living

necessitate the ownership of TWO bread machines - one for gluten, one

for not.

Thoughts?

How tricky is it to totally gluten-rid your automatic home bread

baking machine?
