Is Stoneware Bakeware Safe for Those with Celiac Disease?

[pamperedkel]

A customer has asked....
My friend's husband has celiac disease and we are both wondering if a piece of stone bakeware (pizza stone etc.) would be safe to use to cook something with gluten in it and then to cook something for someone with celiac....(will it absorb any of the gluten or not). He is very particular and safe about his eating/cooking habits and would have to be 100% assured that this would not pose any threat

Can anyone help me with this?

Kelly,

This is something I would ask the HO. As I am not sure and I bet no one else knows either. My Grandmother has celiacs, but she only cooks gluten free cookies, brownies etc. on her stone!

No No NoI have a friend who can't have gluten and ate on an already seasoned stone. The protein absorbs into the stoneware so it was not a good thing for her. She won't use stones now although you could buy one and just never use it with something with gluten.

the other option you have, put a piece of parchment paper down, and put the gluten free food on that, then cook on the stone. That way 2 separate stones wouldn't be needed.

Hi Kelly,Thank you for reaching out to us with your question. I completely understand your concern about using stone bakeware for someone with celiac disease. The good news is that our stone bakeware is completely safe to use for both gluten-containing and gluten-free foods.Our stone bakeware is made from natural stoneware and does not contain any materials that would absorb gluten. It is also non-porous, meaning that it will not retain any food particles, including gluten. As an added precaution, we recommend thoroughly cleaning the stone bakeware in between uses, especially if you are cooking with gluten-containing ingredients.I hope this helps alleviate any worries you may have. We take food safety very seriously and want to ensure that all of our customers can enjoy our products without any concerns. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
