Waffle Maker

Good Morning! So I got a European waffle maker, it has 5 hearts connected to each other a couple months before I found out I had Celiac. I only used it a few times with gluten filled waffle batter. Since then, I have only used gluten free waffle batter for my children. I was wondering, could it be safe for me to eat from that waffle maker? If not now, maybe eventually? Does Gluten just permanently stay there even after wiping down and not using gluten batter anymore? I ask because I have always wanted a waffle maker like this and I hope I can use it for myself some day. Just wondering if anyone knows info related to this. Thanks for reading.

Should be safe I would think, especially if cleaned well. Can you scrub the surface? Is it submersible? If not can you scrub and clean the surface without submerging it?

Thanks. It is not submersible, but I can wipe it off. I only used it a few times with gluten and now only gluten free for 4 months now. I am still figuring this new lifestyle out.

I would use some kind of brush and soapy water to get down into the valleys just to make sure.

@Ahawk,

Welcome to the forum! 

I agree with @trents. 

Clean the waffle maker as best you can and enjoy your waffles and waffle maker!

Clean well as others have said, use a toothbrush or brush of some kind to clean out all corners, edges, valleys, etc.  After all that cleaning, I would also make a batch of gluten free waffle mix and make a bunch of waffles and throw them out, don't eat those.  Perhaps that will help pick up any remaining stuck on or hard to get stuff.  I did this with one pan I didn't want to toss and I didn't have any issues that I know of.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
