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

Milk and yogurt: the question is fat, which passes the disposer easily and then cools down. A few turns in the chamber are enough: the grind comes out fine and leaves with the cold water. They are liquid or creamy and need no grinding: just let them run away with the water. The pot goes in the plastic recycling. Beyond that, it is one of the scraps a disposer deals with every day.
