You're worried about food getting contaminated?
Do you know what's in a hot dog? Does anyone know? :)

I'm betting there are no heavy metals in hot dogs but who knows.

How many 1000's of hotdogs would you have too eat for it to do any harm.
You would be sick of hotdogs long before you could be harmed by the rake. Besides that, they are not coated like fridge racks.
