How to use gluten free rubs and sauces
- Read the label every time, even on a product you've bought before. Check the ingredient list on each product page; recipes can change.
- Watch the extras. Regular soy sauce, beer and malt vinegar contain gluten, so check binders, marinades and mop sauces as well as the rub.
- Keep boards, tongs and brushes separate if you're cooking for someone who must avoid gluten.
- Every product page shows its Hub Heat rating out of 11.
