Making Your Kitchen Gluten Free
The biggest thing you have to worry about when you mixing gluten and gluten-free foods in your kitchen is cross-contamination. Does gluten jump out of the bread bag and accost your gluten-free products? Not really, but sometimes it seems as if it does. The bottom line is that if you’re not careful, you may start with a perfectly good gluten-free meal, and by the time you’re finished preparing it, it could be completely ensconced in gluten – sometimes without you even knowing it. For example, flour . While crumbs don’t fly, flour does --EVERYWHERE. Flour flies. So you can’t prepare your gluten-containing pizza crust in the same area where you’re preparing a gluten-free pizza crust, because you’ll end up with two hybrids of sorts, and that’s definitely not what you’re after when you’ve spent the time and money on gluten-free pizza-crust ingredients. When you’re cooking in a blended environment – one gluten-containing and one gluten-free, don’t even think about making them together...
