As a gardening enthusiast, I’m really concerned about how salmonella intrudes into our vegetable garden and how we can get rid of it, whether from soil, compost, water, fertiliser, plants, or grown fruits and vegetables. And I do hope that those who have been infected by salmonella in the US get the best treatment and recover soon. No more infection cases increased!

GEME Electric Home Composter

If you search How does an electric composter work on Google, you will see Mr Chris Deziel 's article on the first result.

It says

First, the device heats the scraps to a temperature of about 160 degrees, which kills pathogens and weed seeds. Heating continues until the food is completely desiccated, Then it's ground up into granules. Finally, the compost cools before you remove it from the appliance.

Very clear, concise and precise! Unfortunately, this is not for a real composter, but for dehydrator devices. For the difference between a real composter and a dehydrator, check this article for detail.
