[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very careful about what goes in the disposal - usually small scraps like eggshells and whatever small bits of food are left on the plate - small though. I also never ever put grease or oil down there.

All that said I cannot imagine not having one.  [/quote]

This is what we do, though we wouldn’t even put eggshells down ours. Plates mostly get scraped into either compost or trash (which we take out daily). But obviously sauces or crumbs sometimes stick to the plate, and we will use the disposal for that if the water backs up. I also use it to speed up draining large amounts of water all at once, like a big pot of pasta water.

But probably my favorite thing to do with the disposal is to grate a bunch of lemon zest and then toss it down the sink with the disposal running. I’ll juice the lemon into it too, with hot water running, sometimes toss a tablespoon of vinegar. It makes the kitchen smell great and gets rid of any lingering food smell in the sink. [/quote]
