Is running the garbage disposal without water a "not supposed to" thing?

Similar questions: running garbage disposal water supposed thing.

That is definitely a "not suppose to do" thing. You need the water to "liquify" the stuff you put down there, so you don't get "clogged up" (like a blender, you need to add a liquid, when you blend a solid or it all just sticks to the blades and doesn't spin, thus burning out the motor). It goes down the same pipes and septic system all the other "waste" in the house does, so you want to make sure there is plenty of liquid to keep it moving, so you don't end up all clogged up..

Yes, it is. You should run cold water while you're using the disposal. It makes the food easier to chop up, it carries away the chopped up bits, and it keeps the mechanism from overheating.

You should keep the water running for a few seconds after you stop the disposal too, to make sure all the chopped up bits are flushed out.

Yes, the water helps break down the disposals contents The disposal is just chopping up your garbage finely, but it uses the water to moisen and mix it all into a liquid so that it can travel down your drain. I wouldn't be afraid to turn it on without the water, as long as there is nothing in it. If there is something in it at this point, turn the water on first.
