They were supposed to be burnt. In the Temple (in Jerusalem), a heavenly fire came from above and consumed the offerings.
Only the Passover offering (lamb) was eaten.

Well personally i think it has more of a dramatic effect if you burn it and make a story about it, then leaving there to spoil and have maggots coming out.
Imagine you give "God" an offering and leave it there and days later you see bugs in it. God wasn't happy.

Bad cooks, no garlic and a barbaric belief that the smoke of the burned flesh would rise to heaven. Most religions, even the Aztecs and Egyptians had similar beliefs.

To send the spirit of the offering up to God (or gods in other religions), like incense.
