A “mixed kitchen” has gluten-free alongside gluten-containing foods, or when\u00a0 allergy-free foods are prepared together with allergy-containing foods. This is not an ideal situation, but it is possible.<\/p>\n

Mixed kitchens are challenging if shared with someone who has a severe gluten allergy or celiac disease because it is hard to ensure that there will be no cross-contamination. For example, gluten-free toast could be contaminated by the toaster, unless there is a dedicated gluten-free toaster that never sees a glutenated slice of bread. Crumbs on the counter or in the butter are another worry.<\/p>\n

It is possible to run a mixed kitchen, as long as everyone is careful about cleaning up and keeping dedicated kitchen equipment separated and distinct.<\/p>\n

Are you gluten free or do you have some other allergy? What is your experience with a mixed kitchen? Please leave a comment.<\/p>\n
