I couldn't afford a stand mixer, and I burned out the motor of my small (and very old) hand mixer with the thick gluten-free doughs. I bought a heavy-duty KitchenAid, 5-speed hand mixer for $50 that comes with regular beaters and dough hooks. It's working out very well.

I have a kitchen aid and just love it. My mom just got a bread machine from cuisinart with a cycle for gluten free and she seems to really like it

rh,

You might want to try your hand mixer and see what happens. The gluten-free bread recipes I have tried produce doughs that are much wetter and lighter than regular bread dough. At first I used my Sunbeam Mixmaster Heritage Series Legacy Edition stand mixer (a beautiful machine), but decided it just wasn't suitable enough for my needs (or wants, as the case may be). So I got a Kitchenaid Artisan stand mixer. My purchase was accelerated by the fact that I lucked into a deal too good to pass up. I saw a display model on a discontinued color (almond on almond) without a box or manual at a local department store (Kohl's) for $179.

I don't want to get too far into an evaluation of it here, as I want to start a new thread at some point titled Sunbeam vs. Kitchenaid Revisited. Suffice it to say it's met my expectations, I'm very impressed.

Theres plenty of research you can do for just a little effort. Do a search of this site for mixer, stand mixer, or hand mixer (that's 3 different searches). Go to the top of the page where it says "example search". In the little box, replace the words 'tomato sauce" with the word "mixer" or the other suggestions. Not all of the results will be a discussion of the mixers, some will be a part of recipe discussions.

Before actually buying a new mixer, or anything else really, I would suggest going to amazon .com or epinions.com and reading some reviews of the product.

best regards, lm

p.s. Valda, not being able to afford something hasn't deterred me yet!

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
