Re: hot water and garbage disposals. Where is "Mythbusters" when you need them. I can see Kari and Grant doing a test of 2 disposals, with the same greasy concoctions, with one using only cold water and one using only hot water.

I miss those guys.
I assume you've seen Grant & Kari's followup to Mythbusters, White Rabbit Project? RIP Grant.
Jessi, best known for replacing Kari during her maternity leave, died doing what she loved.
I use hot water and a bit of Dawn and let the hot water run a bit longer after I turn off the disposal. I don't put much down there anyway, but I want it nice and clean and any food bits rinsed way down the pipes.
I have not had any issue with clogs or grease buildup or overheated motors.
Never had one ever, til we moved to the deep south 23-ish years ago and into a rent house. We still rent. I run the unit when I need to, and whatever temp water is running at the time is what gets put into the disposal.
Been in this rental for 15? years, never had a problem until recently, when the unit died. Landlord replaced it, and here we are.
Never had a dishwasher, either until we moved here. Well, except for the husband.
"Cary crews responded Saturday morning to a 7,720-gallon sewer spill in the 300 block of Edgemore Avenue caused by grease and debris."
