Are my bread pans/ muffin trays, etc. forever contaminated?

[Pepper88]

I've been transitioning gluten free for the last few months and just made the most delicious "gluten-free" bread... only to land totally fatigued in bed unable to move with my stomach pounding 30 mins after eating. I realized that I didn't give my bread pan a thorough washing before using it. I'm wondering if my bread pans and muffin trays are salvagable with a good cleaning? They are metal.

I found a similar thread that may have answered my question... check for scratches. Any other insights would be useful!

You can heat them really hot and the gluten will turn to charcoal which is gluten free. You could have another food sensitivity though besides gluten.

Do you by chance know what temp gluten breaks down at? 

I have been diagnosed celiac and IBS.

I don't know. I am guessing though that you could put a crumb or something similar in the pan. Once the crumb is completely turned to charcoal the pan is good to use.

Oh and I just thought that lining the pans with aluminum foil would probably do the trick? 

I'm also going to self-clean the oven

I would think that washing the pans in your dishwasher (not over loaded) a couple of times would clean things enough. If they don't have old grease cooked into them.

500F+ will destroy gluten proteins, Oven Self clean cycles exceed this and a commercial oven can go to 550F. A hour or so at this should destroy all gluten.

Unfortunately dishwashers now days use the rinse water from once cycle to clean in the next cycle to save water.....yeah not so good for CC issues now days.

For Bunt pans or thinks with a ton of crevices like spring form pans I would toss them and get new ones honestly.

If you need to get by cheap for awhile get some nordic ware microwave cookware. Of if you get the gill plates get the splatter cover as well thing is good to keep the  microwave clean and works over plain plates to.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to try a thorough wash plus lining it and see if it does the trick. If not, I'll buy new ones.

Bread baking brings me too much joy to give up.
