I'll Never Fork Again...

Yesterday over at So Wonderful, So Marvelous, Michelle posted a recipe for crock pot chicken tacos. I know, yum, right? When you are done here, you should check those out. They are now on my "to make" list.

After explaining the recipe, she mentioned that she saw a great way to shred the meat on Pinterest. After the chicken came out of the crock pot, she put it in the stand mixer with the paddle attachment, turned it on, and ended up with perfectly shredded meat.

If you've ever hand shredded meat with a couple of forks and several cramps in your hands, I'm here to tell you this will change your life. (Assuming you have a stand mixer, of course.)

Yesterday I made Kalua pork (roast) in the crock pot, pulled it out, cut it into several large chunks and tossed it into my mixer bowl. I did just like she said and VOILA! Perfectly shredded meat.


I love it when this big old blog world makes my life easier! Thank you Michelle!

I never would have thought of that, but it's pretty brilliant!

Seriously, this could change my life. I hate slabs of meat. I love shredded meat b/c you can get your sauce/marinade to really soak into all of it. AWESOME, thank you!

Another reason to get a mixer! I hand-fork chicken, beef and pork a lot, since we like BBQ sandwiches. I need to put one of those mixers on my wish list. Thanks for the info! And have a super Wednesday Ally!

Brilliant! I shared this on Pinterest and FB. Yeah, that's how awesome I thought it was. :)
