follow-up, Moya Ethiopian, gluten free injera & cross contamination

[Guest guest]

Moya confirmed that while they use the same pans to make both the gluten and non-gluten injera, they are cleaned between batches. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my seat in the restaurant afforded a clear view of the cooking area, and it did appear to me that the pan was spanking clean when the woman was making the gf injera; and, I had no reaction whatsoever, though I ate more than my share of injera that evening!

If you are concerned about the possibility of cross contamination, I would urge you to let your server know (our server was the granddaughter/daughter of the owners). I've already sent a follow-up email asking if they could simply buy another dedicated pan...

Hi Tristan,

We use the same pans to make both types of injera, but they are cleaned in between batches. Thanks for your interest.

Hi there. I am pleased that you offer gluten-free (teff only) injera. Is this prepared and cooked in a way to prevent its being contaminated by the wheat in the non-gluten-free bread? If the gluten-free injera is cooked in the same pan as wheat-containing bread, is the pan cleaned between use?

Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.

Best,

Tristan
