The problem with cooked food in a composter is not that it won't compost:
it will - if it stays there long enough to do so. 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.



Indeed: I put lots of cooked food - including meat - in my wormery with no
problems.
