Hello Ray,
Very good question. I had never thought that there would be any problem with
this. I recall that when I was a kid, we used to use old metal refrigerator
shelves to cook over campfires. I guess I'm lucky to still be alive.
Scanning through the web, I found several references that some steel refrigerator
shelves were (and may still be!) plated with cadmium as a rust preventative.
These references warn that if you use these as grills, the cadmium can leach out
into cooking meat and poison you! Not only shouldn't you use them for grills,
but you shouldn't place raw meat directly on a refigerator shelf even in the
refrigerator! Acidic foods such as tomatoes and citrus fruits shouldn't touch
the metal shelves, either, because the acid will also leach out the cadmium.
The mystery is: why would manufacturers use something toxic like cadmium to
plate the steel in a refrigerator shelf when the odds that foods will touch
the shelf are so great? Makes me wonder about oven shelves/racks, too....
If you want to read the references and warnings, try this in the search box
on Google:
"refrigerator shelves" cadmium

Hello Rick,
There is a (presumably) copycat recipe for Dave's Insanity Salsa here:
Tastebook
Limestone paste comes in red & white varieties, and is used in making Thai
desserts such as the grilled coconut cake on this page:
