Is my convection oven safe? (was cleaned with vinegar)

Hi all,

Returned from a vacation to discover a well-meaning family member cleaned my personal convection oven with vinegar and baking soda. This vinegar is definitely made from wheat. 

The convection oven has only ever been used by me. It has never otherwise had gluten in it. 

Is it safe for me to use? Or do I have to get a new oven?

Just wash it well with warm water.  That should remove the residue.  You should be just fine.  

What kind of vinegar?  I can not imagine using malt vinegar.  Most white is distilled and is safe.

They cleaned with malt vinegar?  That’s the only one with gluten and it’s barley.  

 Wash it again!

Convection like with a fan....if they used malt type I would be concerned. Can it do a self-clean of over 500F? And how extensively did they clean it with it?

In the unlikely  event that someone actually used malt vinegar to clean this oven - it isn’t going to be blowing around.  It would be more of a concern if it had flour in it.  They could certainly clean it, then let it cook and blow for a while if that makes them feel better.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      Gluten free vitamins

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
