I think before I leave in the Spring to head back North back to Winnie, I'm going to pour some vegetable oil or maybe some Crisco in the drain and run the disposal, to let it lubricate the blades for the season.

Thanks to everyone, for their recommendations, much appreciated !

The same thing happened to us and we were advised to put vegetable oil in it.
