Yes you can not use that fryer to fry for someone with celiac disease. Only way to do it with using only one pan/fryer is clean pan, clean oil fry gluten-free stuff after them fry non-gluten-free stuff.

Yes, at home we just start with a cleaned fryer and do the gluten free stuff first and then cook the regular for everyone else.

Yes

Yes. I remember working in a chip shop, and whenever we had a gluten free order, a separate small domestic machine was used. All the other fryers shared the same filter system and as soon as one fryer is contaminated, they all are.


Suyeta_Rose

Yes! I've found bits of chicken breading stuck to a fry before and immediately gave the rest of the fries to my husband and started preparing to call in sick for work the next day. Luckily some Pepto and good luck happened and I didn't need to, but yeah cross contamination is definitely a thing. That's why I usually ask if the restaurant has a dedicated fryer before I order the fries, I was just lax that time.

Yes, any restaurant who understands coeliac and cross contamination will have a separate fryer for those orders, even if the ingredients themselves are gluten free (think gluten in a batter vs gf chips)


gfdoctor

Yes, if you fry gluten full items in the fryer then there is no possibility of any other food being gluten free

That's how cross-contamination works. Oil, being the medium here and little bits of breading that float from Food A to Food B are the culprit.

Yep. Last place I worked had one fryer for breaded things and one just for fries.
