Don't Forget the Toaster & the Knife

Breakfast & lunch can be two times where cross contamination is high.  Why?  the peanut butter sandwich.  The toaster carries crumbs from regular bread, so for the gluten allergic or those with celiac disease, buy a 2nd, completely gluten-free toaster and store it in a separate cupboard. 

The knife can carry  the gluten crumbs right into the peanut butter, as well as the peanut allergens over to another piece of bread (gluten-free or not).  Using separate ustensils and separate toasters is essential. Also, if gluten is your beast, separate jars of anything, including peanut butter, sun butter, mustard, mayo, marshmallow spread, and jam - anything where the knife can be (double) dipped.
