When we lived in England we didn’t have a garbage disposal.
None of our neighbors had one, either. There were two Do-It-Yourself stores in
town and neither of them carried garbage disposals. Doing without it was an
adjustment, especially with messy recipes like applesauce or orange marmalade.
It’s just so much easier to toss the orange pith or apple cores into the sink,
grind them up and be done with them. Disposals do have a downside; they can get
clogged and smelly. Clean and deodorize your disposal by pouring in a cup of
baking soda. Heat a cup of vinegar in the microwave and pour it in after the
baking soda. Wait five minutes and chase it down with at least two quarts of
hot water. Keep your disposal running freely and smelling fresh by periodically
tossing in a half a lemon and a handful of crushed ice.
