I have a kitchen drain that I recently opened with a snake due to grease

right now, I am wondering what I might do to reduce grease buildup in
the future.Â* I have read of vinegar and baking soda as an approach, but
has anyone had success with something else?
Â*Â* KenÂ* ;Â* just how often are you un-clogging it ?
I clean-out my kitchen drain every 10 years or soÂ* -Â* why would I

but it takes about 15 minutes.

I have had problems in the past and tried to solve them with chemicals.
Finally after decades I realized I needed to take a more serious action,
hence the snake.Â* I freed the stoppage but am trying to prevent further
blockage.Â* I guess I could do the snake again, but it is an unpleasant
job.Â* I have a grease jar where I put all possible grease, but some is
unavoidable.
Can you use a snake if you have a disposal installed?
