You can't use your DCB for a GF host if you've used your DCB with anything that was non-GF before. Stoneware absorbs gluten!
You will either have to use your host's stoneware or use something stainless steel. Stainless steel is the only thing that does not absorb gluten. Even the executive cookware will not work in this instance.
I have several GF friends and a GF consultant on my team, so we are practically experts, lol.
If the host has a DCB the Mexican Chicken Lasagna is great with the corn tortillas for a GF DCB recipe! Also, you can do the risotto, as the rice is GF.
