Oven

[Voltage]

I have a silly question i put a plate on the oven and the plate cover fell off the plate onto the top of the oven is it even possible for a plastic plate cover to put up gluten from the oven as i put the cover back over my plate and it may have touched my food.

I don't think that should be an issue, George. Go ahead and enjoy your food. By the way, welcome to the forum!

Hello. Also another stupid question if i were to wash plates do i need to worry if other people touch the towels i clean them with? can gluten even transfer that way? do i need my own dedicated towels or is that over the top.

I think that's probably over the top, George.

How long have you been diagnosed as a celaic? The questions you are asking are perhaps relevant if you are among the most sensitive of celiacs but are probably not a concern to the vast majority of them. Have you had enough experience since diagnosis to conclude that you are on the extremely sensitive end of the spectrum? Some of these things you just have to figure out for yourself through experience and we just can't answer that for you. It's good to consider possible sources of hidden gluten but don't obsess over them. The stress of doing so (obsessing) will likely do more harm to your gut than the minuscule amount of gluten exposure possible in the scenarios you have mentioned.

It's hard to understand exactly what happened...was this a microwave oven? I hope you didn't have plastic in a regular oven. I think if the plate is only used as a cover and it simply fell off in the oven, and you put it back on, the likelihood of gluten contamination from this incident would be very low.
