You have been misinformed. Compost bins can be placed on paving slabs
(though they might be better on bricks on slabs), and you can put
cooked food into compost bins.

I don't use them, as I use traditional heaps - and produce a LOT of
compost - so I shall leave others to describe their experiences and
advise on the best way.
