Stopped fighting with my garbage disposal jams after 15 years of cursing

For the longest time I used to just shove a broom handle down there to free up stuck stuff. Then about 2 months ago my neighbor Mike said to try a 6-pack of ice cubes and some lemon peels instead. You run the cold water, dump the ice in, then peel, and let it grind everything down. It cleared the jam in like 30 seconds and sharpened the blades too. Has anyone else tried ice cubes for disposal problems or am I late to this party?

Ice cubes sharpen the blades, not lemons.

Yo did you let the ice run through completely or just let it grind for a bit? I tried it once but I think I didn't let enough melt first and it just kinda bounced around in there. Might give it another shot with some lemon peels like your neighbor said.
