Flour Canisters

I'm looking for some nice quality canisters that will hold my homemade gluten free flour blend and my coconut flour.

 

I was considering buying them on Amazon, but am concerned by quality after reading some of the reviews. I don't want something cheap and flimsy that will get dented up easily or not seal well.

 

Any suggestions?

I get glass one's at Hobby Lobby.  They have different sizes and have the rubber tight seal that is air tight.  Plus, they are seriously affordable. I keep all my different flours in them.

Something you can keep in the freezer is a good idea. Gluten free flours like rice don't keep as well on the counter as wheat flour would.

I would avoid glass if you are keeping whole grain/nut flours in the freezer, unless it specifically says freezer safe.  (I have learned that the hard way, lol)

 

I use snapware.  The name brand will last longer than the store brand, and they are square and stack nicely.  But definitely get something that is going to fit into the desired space... they make lots of shapes and sizes.

I have always kept flour in the freezer. It can last for years and years. Not sure about all the gluten free flours for the exact freezer life, but I am assuming it is the same or similar to wheat flour. I love glass to store, but I keep my flours in plastic sealed bins in my garage freezer. That freezer (on my third one) is invaluable!

King Arthur Flour makes some nice ones in a variety of sizes.  The special bread pans they make for gluten-free bread are also worth the investment.

lpellegr,

I haven't ventured into gluten free bread baking yet, but I recently bought some run-of-the mill stainless steel pans for gluten-free bread recipes. Haven't used them yet though...can you tell me how/why gluten-free bread pans are different? Will gluten-free bread baked in a regular pan fail? I'd love to borrow from your experience. Thanks!

The pans on the King Arthur site are USA Pans.  They have higher sides.  With Gluten free bread, if you use a regular size bread pan, the rising bread will fall over the sides of the pan.  It is well worth the investment for this pan.  Very sturdy and well made.

 

Good Luck

i use canning jars.  they will also work in the freezer.  

 

i actually use canning jars for lots of things - they are great for taking salads for picnics - macaroni, potato, ect <in the warm weather, you can put a big bowl of (say) potato salad into (say) 4 quart jars and then just take out one at a time.  clear glass, so you can tell what's in each one.  takes up less space on the table, and you are keeping the rest of it out of the heat.  we do this when we are camping, too :)  plus, they stand up in the cooler and are less likely to be 'drowned' with melting ice.  i have seen on pinterest & such, where people use them to make individual garden salads in smaller ones, then pour the dressing on them & shake & eat.  that sounds like something to try for this summer :)

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
