Holiday cooking puts your kitchen plumbing to work in a way the rest of the year doesn't. Extra prep, back-to-back rounds of dishes, and a sink that barely gets a break can all expose a drain or disposal problem that was easy to overlook before.
A few habits go a long way, starting with keeping grease out of the drain and collecting it in a container instead. Scrape plates into the trash or compost before rinsing, and run your disposal the way the manufacturer recommends rather than treating it as a catch-all. If your kitchen sink already drains slowly, that's the one to address ahead of time, because a heavy cooking day tends to turn slow drainage into a full backup.
