Cleaning pasta maker

Hi, 

maybe someone out there has a brilliant idea. 

I used to enjoy making fresh pasta at home. In the meantime, byebye gluten. I would like to dust off my pasta maker and get back on it with a gluten-free version. The question is.... how do I clean it? It is not possible to use water since it rusts. Maybe run pieces of gluten-free dough through it a million times until it picks up all the traces left? The machine is already pretty clean, looks like new. 

Any thoughts out there? 

Also.. a recipe for gluten-free pasta dough would be appreciated.

Few thoughts, 1. is it all metal and heat resistant? Only way to 100% decontaminate it would be like cast iron and some pots you can run them in your oven selflclean cycle at over 500F will destroy the proteins that make up gluten short of that....toss it to many nicks, crannies and possibility to harbor gluten.
2. I would be tempted to try making a dough with sweet rice flour that is really gummy mixed with warm water and see how that forms up, psyllium husk powder makes a super doughy stretchy texture when mixed with warm water this mixed in with it and some eggs could work....I make a fun to eat gummy cookie dough treat that is super stretchy like a yeast gluten dough from 2 scoops Naked Pea pure pea protein, 1/8th tsp pure stevia, 1 tsp psyllium husk, and 1tsp ground cinnamon wisk sift and mix with 8oz hot water. That texture reminds me a bit of pasta dough and makes me wonder about using the psyllum with flours as pasta mix.

Is it one of those cheaper hand cranked ones?  If so, I would just get a new one.

whatever kind it is, if you can’t clean it, I wouldn’t want it.  I have had the hand cranked before Celiac and we washed it.  Sounds kind of gross to never wash it

It is a traditional, stainless steel, hand cranked, italian pasta maker. I tried to insert a picture, but somehow I can't make it work. 

Maybe I can take it apart to be thoroughly cleaned. 

They are not supposed to be washed. It is not gross at all. Properly made dough leaves no visible residue. (But it will leave traces of gluten, that is for sure)

It has gluten residue......in my mind that is grosser then SOO many other things. The reaction to it places many disgusting non food items or bad rotting food items as preferred over gluten residue. -_- you get this mind set after a while, or maybe it is just my once hit I stay way from things like a beaten dog. Regardless....gluten....ew gross....BURN IT WITH FIRE.

Oven self clean 500F+ or get a new one are your options.

I think it would make a great gift for a pasta loving friend or relative!

There's videos online for cleaning them:

and I'm sure they do a good job, but I'd be worrying about a stray gluten particle. I guess you could like you say make a couple of dummy runs and give your friends some gluten free pasta they didn't ask for at which point hopefully it would be ok. If you decided to keep it I would wash it very thoroughly then place it in an oven at low temperatures for a couple of hours. This would remove all the moisture and address the rusting issue at least.

I have never made pasta with a pasta maker (just used to cut noodles by hand), but I did have to part with the family lamb cake mold we used for Easter.  It was so detailed and ancient, that I could not get it clean enough to give me piece of mind.   Because the bottom line is that health (mental and physical) is all that matters.

      Bile reflux with celiac

      Hey! How is your daughter doing now? I am dealing with very similar issues! All started after going gluten free after being diagnosed with celiacs

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Thanks for your thoughts on this. My reactions to gluten are complex and involve more than just my heart and arteries. The problems with what It does to my cardiovascular system do present me with a bit of a conundrum at times. For instance, I had cardio bypass surgery in 2002 (at age 53) and then again had angina and artery issues in 2006. At the same time, I was also suffering symptoms of early onset dementia while also experiencing symptoms of psychosis. That was when I discovered I had celiac and went on a. gluten-free diet. On that diet, my psychosis disappeared, my chest pain stopped and my cognitive issues also cleared up. Subsequently I began running and exercising again with no cardio problems. And my stress tests and cardio exams since then showed no evidence of artery problems. Plus, my lipid panels showed significant changes. My arteriosclerosis had started in 1992. At that time, my HDL cholesterol had always been measured in the 20s even though I exercised religiously, ate what was supposed to be a heart-healthy diet and was never overweight. After going on a gluten-free diet in 2006, my HDLs have been in the 60s and 70s. Since then, my usual symptoms of ingesting gluten are a temporary increase in blood pressure and certain intense types of hypnogogic hallucinations. The Afib stuff is a recent development. I will be discussing all of this again with my cardiologist in May. I discuss some of this in my substack (no paywall) at https://diaryofapreviouslydementedpoet.substack.com/

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Migraines are a recognized symptom of celiac disease. The incidence of it is higher in the celiac community than in the general population. It is one of mine. Well, keep us posted. Do you have a follow up appointment scheduled yet? Again, let me stress that it is important to not begin the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet until all testing related to celiac diagnosis is complete.

      No other testing has been done at this point, though I wonder if my diagnosis will prompt that. My main symptoms have been bowel related and I’ve had severe migraines for several years now but I’ve been seeing a neurologist for that and have it under control, though I now wonder if the migraines have been a symptom of Celiac all along.
