So, you have your gluten-free<\/a> bread, and now you want to make toast.<\/p>\n

Is putting it in a toaster the best solution?<\/p>\n

A toaster is a great way of turning bread<\/a> into toast, but watch out for cross-contamination!<\/p>\n

If you use the same toaster that everyone else uses for their wheat<\/a>-based bread, then you are asking for trouble.<\/p>\n

There are two safe solutions.<\/p>\n

One is to simply have a separate toaster that is kept absolutely free from wheat – i.e. all bread that is not free of gluten<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a good and convenient solution. <\/p>\n

Be sure to clearly mark the toaster as gluten-free<\/strong>. If there is any chance that this sign might be ignored, then store the toaster well away from your wheat-consuming friends and family when it is not being used to toast your own gluten-free bread.<\/p>\n

If you only make toast occasionally, you can use a frying pan to toast your gluten-free bread.<\/p>\n

This works reasonably well, although not as well as a toaster, and you have to baby-sit the bread, which is not convenient. It is actually the method I use since I so rarely eat toast.<\/p>\n

The main thing is never to put your gluten-free\/wheat-free bread anywhere near a gluten- or wheat-contaminated source. <\/p>\n

Also, watch out for other potential causes of cross-contamination such as tongs\/toast-tweezers, and toast-cooling racks.<\/p>\n

These items could be shared if properly washed after use with wheat-based bread. The problem with this approach is that you may forget, or depend on others who may overlook this step.<\/p>\n

Again, it may be better to use your own implements when handling your gluten-free toast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
