Let’s settle this-what’s the garbage disposal for?

[Yinny]

I’ve had some fierce debates online and with some uncivilized people irl about how to properly use the garbage disposal that’s in your kitchen sink.


Please don’t tell me yall are dumping actual plates of food in the sink My ex used to do this and his stepdad almost did it at my house before I stopped him. Where yall come from?

Well tell us what it's used for in your opinion?

I think you should dump most everything in the trash and the small remaining in the disposal

 

[RickyDiBiase]

scraps of food followed by dish liquid and a run of hot water

Clean that mfer with bleach once a week

lol just runoff “food” bits pretty much after you’ve dumped into the trash can. Like I said I know grown adults who’ll just walk their plate directly to the sink

I only use it to get rid of small chunks of food while I’m washing dishes. I don’t know how other people use it and too much really don’t care.

Scraps,

Eggshells,
chunks of fat from when you cut up some meat,
unedible parts of the carrot or onions when you cut up veggies, things like that.
Unfinished food scrapings from your plate.

basically anything that would make your garbage smell.
but obviously not tossing whole slices of uneaten pizza in there or something crazy like that.

also avoid anything that would break the shyt like Chicken Bones

Whenever i want to clean it i put in some crushed ice from the fridge and soap and turn it on.

The scraps go into the garbage disposal but the actual plates of food go in the trash. And no grease or fat whatsoever goes down there.

This is almost exactly what we do. Add in no rice and no bones, and it would be completely what we do.

Incidental food that I can't bother to scrape off a dish

I use real scraps for compost and throw that other ish out

Every now and then I might put a citrus peel in there for fun

Burning garbage in a sink with a garbage disposal is

status.

@Regular_P should be able to settle this seeing how works in the garbage industry.

Foods You Can and Can’t Put Down the Garbage Disposal - Consumer Reports

In this look at foods you can and can’t put down a garbage disposal, Consumer Reports says this appliance can handle many types of food, but don’t treat it like a trash can.

www.consumerreports.org

apparently i'm not supposed to put egg shells in there. Never seemed to have an issue though.
although it does say "a large number of egg shells" I don't usually put more than two at once 4 at the most.
Funny enough i avoid putting fruit pits in there though because it will jam it up.
