That liquid will go black soon enough, temperature will hit 50°C easily and you’ll be dodging clouds of steam every time you open it. We used our hotbin most of last year but as it fills we found it hard to maintain enough oxygen and the composting process stalled. I’ve emptied it and won’t be using the contents and when I kick start it again I won’t be using any cooked food as I’m just too wary it’ll attract vermin if it’s not fully broken down.
