Equipping the Gluten Free-Casein Free Kitchen

Implementing a gluten free/casein free diet for a family member instantly transforms the meaning of convenience and/or fast food. Before serving a simple packaged food product, you will need to carefully check the ingredient label. You may need to contact the manufacturer directly to inquire about a multitude of issues, including the use of shared manufacturing equipment, hidden ingredients, etc. You may find it difficult, or nearly impossible, to find safe convenience foods for a family member with food intolerances or allergies. Therefore, home-based food preparation may become crucial to help meet dietary needs.

Cooking from scratch is time consuming, but there are several kitchen appliances you can use to reduce the workload. Bread makers, heavy-duty stand mixers and pasta makers are often helpful additions to the kitchen. You can also save effort by preparing foods in large quantities and freezing the leftovers in individual storage containers to allow for a quick meal or snack.
