We just abuse the snot out of ours. They cost little and take ten minutes to replace. I do not mind replacing one every eight to ten years. It beats keeping a list of rules next to the sink.
me too, when I'm done with the old one I shove that one through the new disposer and rinse it on down the drain
I was reading the manufactors instructions on the darn thing that we bought and it says no hot water , no freshner beads the kind you buy to put down the darn thing , and all sorts of other things you should not use in it . I don't use it at all I hate it and my husband thinks they are the greatest thing you can have in the kitchen , yeah he would cause like a lot of men he is never in the kitchen LOL ...If I had my way that thing would not have come in this house ....I hate garbage disposals they are a waist of money in my opinion and not worth the effort and my sister in law took hers out and never replaced it she was over it .
Did you guys know that garbage disposals were banned in NYC for years? It was a final jeopardy question a few years back.
I can't imagine not having a garbage disposal. I don't want the smell of food scraps hanging around until I have enough trash to take out. I also throw ice cubes in and baking soda when it gets stinky. I also pour boiling water down both kitchen sinks regularly to dissolve any grease.
My thoughts exactly. And I hate putting food scraps, bones, etc. in my trash because it makes the trash can smell. Our garbage only gets picked up once a week and I don't want my garage to smell like food scraps.
Why even have a garbage disposal if you aren't going to make good use out of it?
Bones I'd put in small resealable/tie-able bags so they don't stink - unless it'll only be a day or two until trash pickup - in winter it's not a problem.
chicken bones, my disposal loves chicken bone, if I bake a chicken so the meat falls off the bone, the whole chicken carness will go down the drain. Only thing it doesnt like is potatoe peels
