Cold water, a little at a time, mixed loads.Food scraps only. Never fats or oils, never anything that isn't food.

How it behaves in the disposer

Citrus segments and leftovers: the disposer is on home ground here, because soft pulp gives way at once. A few turns in the chamber are enough: the grind comes out fine and leaves with the cold water. Flesh and segments break down almost at once. The pips are small and go down with the water without trouble. Beyond that, it is one of the scraps a disposer deals with every day.
