    fork stuck in kitchen garbage disposal and unjammable

    hi terry thanks for that. any tips on soaking/cleaning up the grease/water mixture that's in my disposal unit? i checked the unit and i'm almost certain that if i released the seal between the unit and the sink, all that grease would spill out the side, over the unit, and onto everything in...

    fork stuck in kitchen garbage disposal and unjammable
