More likely it will attract every mouse, rat, fox and badger to your composter and it will be eaten before it rots down. Look at wormeries instead for cooked food and keep the compost heap for hay (???), rabbit droppings, grass clippings, flowers etc.etc. That is an old wives' tale. I have even had rats living in my compost and not touching the cooked food. As our old ratcatcher said, they are attracted by the warmth and worms - which are inseparable from a compost heap.
