Avoiding Contamination #2

I posted about this a while ago and here's another tip.

Fact: Gluten free bread tends to require toasting to improve it's enjoyment factor.
Another fact: Toasters are covered in crumbs
One more: If you put your gluten free bread in your toaster, you will risk contamination from other breads.

What can you do about it? Well, if you only have a small toaster, I would buy a cheap second, especially if your child reacts easily. For us, we have a 4 slice toaster and we have dedicated 2 slice sides to be gluten free. It works pretty well, gluten free bread tends to need a lot longer in the toaster, so we keep the timers set - so if you put your normal toast in the GF side - you will be 'punished' with burnt toast :)

If you keep using the same toaster it's worth thinking, as I read here, "Why don't you just sprinkle bread crumbs on your food?"
