If you're following a gluten-free lifestyle but have to cook in a shared kitchen, cross-contamination can be a concern. However, there are ways to navigate this situation and keep yourself safe and healthy. One tip is to color code your kitchen items, using separate cloths, dishes, and cutting boards for gluten-free cooking. Regularly cleaning and sanitizing your kitchen towels and surfaces is also important to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. Additionally, creating a designated gluten area and using separate utensils and equipment for gluten-free cooking can further prevent accidental exposure. Clearly labeling gluten-free ingredients, storing them on higher shelves, practicing safe cooking techniques, and educating household members about your needs are other efficient strategies. As an additional recommendation, Young Living Vitality™ essential oils can be used to add delicious flavors to gluten-free dishes while enjoying the benefits of high-quality essential oils. With these tips in place, you can have a safe and healthy cooking experience in a shared kitchen.
