If you or a loved one eat a gluten-free diet, you don't have to worry about delicious gluten-free recipes. National Gluten-Free Day is January 13th, and there's no better way to celebrate it than by making your own food from scratch. The experts at Appliances Connection have gotten together to list some of our favorite gluten-free foods and the appliances we use to make them.
Gluten-Free Pizza Crust
A gluten-free diet doesn't mean giving up the finer things in life, including pizza. This recipe for gluten-free pizza crust uses millet flour, sweet rice flour, and potato starch, making a differently-textured dough than you may expect from wheat flour. You can even make large amounts of this dough and freeze it for later use.
Bosch HEI8056U
To make good pizza without a pizza oven, you need a powerful range, like this one from Bosch's 800 Series. With 4.6 cu. ft. of interior capacity, it can handle any size of pizza, while its genuine European convection and quick preheat function make it a great choice for pizza and other heavy-duty cooking tasks.
Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese
Pasta is one of the trickiest gluten-free foods, but when you get it right, it's absolutely amazing. If you're looking for comfort food, look no farther than this gluten-free macaroni and cheese. It combines gluten-free noodles with goat cheese and aged white cheddar. It even includes kale for added flavor and nutrition.
Frigidaire FFGC3026SS
This 30-in. natural gas cooktop from Frigidaire is one of our favorites for boiling any kind of pasta. Its color-coordinated Ready-Select Control knobs are easy to use, and the electronic pilotless ignition system saves you time and energy. Its sealed burners are recessed and seamless for easy cleanup, as well.
Gluten-Free Fried Chicken
This recipe for gluten-free fried chicken is another one of our all-time favorites. It combines a homemade gluten-free flour mix with smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder to create fried chicken with a flavorful kick. The recipe also uses only half a cup of oil, making this a healthier alternative to deep-fried food.
LG LRGL5823S
The perfect way to fry food is with a gas cooktop, and this 30-in. freestanding range from LG is powerful enough to handle as much fried chicken as you can eat. In addition to a huge variety of smart features, including voice control with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, its five sealed burners have an output of between 5,000 and 20,000 BTUs. This can be used to melt butter or cook a heavy stir-fry in minutes.
Zucchini Pappardelle with Pesto and Eggplant alla Norma
Some recipes, like this one for zucchini pappardelle from Rachael Ray, require no special substitutions to become gluten-free. The zucchini may be the star of the show, but the homemade pesto includes mint, chili flakes, and basil for a unique flavor.
Forte FGRT304
If you're looking for a powerful rangetop to make this zucchini and eggplant dish, check out this natural gas option from Forte. It specializes in heavy-duty operation, down to the solid stainless steel knobs, while the four sealed Italian burners sit under edge-to-edge grates to make sliding heavy dishes between burners a cinch.
Sweet n' Spicy Shrimp Lettuce Tacos
Some gluten-free cooking is incredibly creative, just like this recipe for shrimp tacos that uses lettuce instead of tortillas. It's easy to make, taking just over half an hour from start to finish, and the agave nectar and Sriracha sauce combine to create a memorable flavor profile.
Miele KM6365
An induction cooktop is great for cooking the shrimp and scallions in this recipe, and this cooktop from Miele is one of our favorites. Its large Ceran® glass surface utilizes pan presence detection to provide power to only the active areas of cooking, making it easy to cook with even irregular cookware. If you have a compatible range hood, it can even use Con@ctivity 2.0 technology to automatically turn it on and off with the cooktop's heat.
