Paleo Gluten Free Kitchen and Restaurant Tips

Paleo Gluten Free Cooking Tips
Gluten free meals requires that cooking surfaces, utensils and cooking oils are gluten free. If your whole household requires a gluten free diet it is a easy task. But if not everyone in the household requires gluten free meals it just requires different rules of preparation for gluten tolerant and for gluten free house members. Cooking tips to consider at home and when dining in a restaurant.
One of the main concerns with a gluten free diet is cross-contamination. Gluten meals have to be prepared with no cross contamination from gluten products in your kitchen and in restaurants. Cross-contamination happens if gluten containing foods come in contact with gluten free foods. An example is commercial oaks. Oaks are gluten free but can be processed in the same environment as wheat there for can become cross contaminated. For those that require a gluten-free diet oaks should not be consumed. Likewise, preparation of gluten free foods requires rules to eliminate cross-contamination with gluten produces in your home and in restaurant.
Gluten Free Kitchen Tips
1.Use two different sifter for gluten foods and gluten free foods. Label the two sifters one for gluten and the other for gluten-free.

3. Use different utensils for gluten free foods and foods containing gluten. If the same utensils are used the utensils have to be cleaned thoroughly for gluten free products.
4. The same toaster cannot be used for gluten containing foods and gluten free foods. A separate toaster is needed for gluten free products.
5. Gluten free foods cannot be fried in the same oil used to fry gluten breaded items. One simple rule that can be easily overlooked.
6. Cross contamination can occur with jams, jelly, mustard, mayonnaise and butter. Watch out for gluten crumbs that can be shared. Have separate items for celiac persons.
