Gluten/Wheat Free Cooking Spray

Feb 11, 2007 15:56

So my husband is staying at his best friends place while working in Seattle this week. His best friend has an intense allergy to gluten/wheat. I'm going to make them some brownies from a mix that I just got at the store. I'm too nervous to make them from scratch and mess up something and make him sick. They'll be delivered Wednesday :o ( Read more... )

advice, wheat-free, gluten-free

I'd just use butter.

Ok, I just wasn't sure I could. I've looked it up online and butter isn't really a food you find listed under the diet :o)

Just use oil or butter. Don't worry about cooking spray.

And don't use a non-stick or stoneware pan you normally use for gluten-full cooking. They're porous.

Excellent, thank you.

Good point too. I bought a separate pan entirely for shipping it to them.

Now to figure out the best way to ship brownies so they don't end up a chocolate heap of crumbs lol :o)

Thanks guys :o)

I'd say leave the brownies _in_ the pan you cooked them in. That way, they can't crumble up.

I second this suggestion - Gluten-free baked goods are sometimes more crumbly, so I'd buy a disposable tin pan and bake AND ship them in that pan

I dont want to sound snotty but you did double/triple check the mix for gluten or wheat right? Ive seen a few gluten free mixes that contained spelt and for most celiacs thats not acceptable.

Gluten free COOKING SPRAY?!!WTF?

You mean among the other nasty shite they put into those things to cause lung damage, they put flour in them?

The only cooking sprays that should have gluten in them are thet ones that say they contain flour - Usually they front says "COoking Spray with Flour" or something like that. The ingredients will certainly tell you there's wheat starch or flour in them. Regular cooking sprays just contain oil, and all common cooking oils are safe for people who can't eat gluten.
