I used to always argue with the ex about putting bones in the disposal.
I go by what my mom told me. She said it's good for it and the guy who put ours in at told her that. The ex disagreed, wouldn't even through fruit like banana peels or lemon peels down there. What's the sense of having the thing if you going to have garbage in the house. Never could figure that one out. |

I see the bottle is now firmly on the counter. I'm like you and living in a place that gets fairly hot, I don't like to leave a lot out. My trick now is to let it stay there for a few weeks. Then all of a sudden it will be back in the fridge. ![]() |

It's not about hurting the disposal, it's about putting stuff down the drain that won't break down and could accumulate in the grease and gunk that's already constraining your pipes bit by bit. |

Plumbing obstruction by accumulation is often a slow-moving process, and sometimes isn't an issue if people take the right precautions or have the right habits. The big thing is to never let lipids of any type down the drain, grease, lard, oil, all of it is your biggest danger to congeal and start the process. Next is to keep regular liquid traffic. If you're sending a bath tub full of hot water, or a sinkful of near-scalding water daily, you're going to clean a lot out on a maintenance basis. Next is to make sure things that go through the disposal will biodegrade easily. If it breaks down quickly it won't get caught up permanently in the growing grease clog. Then people are relying on draino, and hoping that the day doesn't come they have to roto-rooter the whole system out. Thing is, once those grease 'balls' start, it's a near inevitability. Grease isn't something that just washes away. There was a news thing on how in the London sewers, they're pulling out balls the size of a motorcycle that's all hair, grease and wet wipes. EDIT - revise that, they've pulled out one single ball weighing in at 10 TONS. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...a-sewer-london |

It's the bones we disagreed on mostly. Never had a problem growing up or here. |

realy fibrous things like peels and such can be bad for a disposal.

Turns out that it isn't a spinning blade or anything in there but rather a couple of 'hammers' that spin around on a central shaft. The two hammers are on their own axis on a larger disk ('grinding plate'). As that disk spins, the hammers spin around independently and blast things towards the outside to be run over what amounts to cheese graters. Those graters are what do the cutting as the hammers move things out and press them into the grinders. What will happen is that the disposal spends enough time wet that it will get a little corrosion or gunk built up around the base of the hammers. The hammers will then lock up and stop doing their jobs. So when you put a bone or something hard in there, it breaks them loose and keeps them spinning correctly (and the disposal working). I had to take the one in my prep sink out, blast it was as much WD40 as I could find and start beating the hammers with a chisel and mallet to free them. If you put more hard stuff in there, they should never get that stuck. Alternatively, I've read that if one gets stuck, you can just fire it up and shove a broom handle in there. Uh...have fun with that. I ain't going that route. I'd suggest large blocks of ice instead. |

Abounce once every couple months we'll fire it up with a spoon in there (not intentionally). Thank that works? |

Line a bowl with aluminum foil, pour your grease in the foil and when it cools and hardens, lift out the foil and pitch it. I don't like having a jar of rancid grease under my sink so that's the route I go.

Probably not. Not enough mass. Could put the front end of a wooden spoon in there but I'd suspect a little metal spoon will just bounce around a lot.
