You should always run cold water when operating a garbage disposal because cold water keeps fats, oils, and grease in a solid state so the grinding mechanism and blades can chop them into tiny particles before they wash away safely. Warm or hot water melts fats and greases into a liquid state that coats the internal pipes and motor components, eventually solidifying further down the drainage line and creating stubborn household plumbing clogs.
