I've been reading some blogs about living gluten-free which emphasize the importance of having separate cooking utensils and appliances, as well as separate food storage, if you don't live in a gluten-free household. I'm not sensitive enough that I can detect trace amounts of gluten from crumbs and such, so I have no way of knowing how much I'm getting glutened by sharing a kitchen with my non-gluten-free parents. However, I do worry about the long-term effects of regularly consuming trace amounts. So I guess this is my question: how important is it to designate gluten-free knives, pots, pans, tupperware, etc? Should I be claiming my own shelf in the fridge so my food doesn't get near anything gluteny?
