SHREDDED SECRETS

Technique/Tools of the Trade Thursday

Large quantities of beef, chicken, turkey or pork cooked in a slow cooker can easily be shredded by using your Kitchen Aid (TM) Stand Mixer.

I learned this trick/technique while scanning Pinterest.

When you are cooking meat for a large crew or preparing meals in advance

 this technique is truly a time saver!

TECHNIQUE

·      Put your slow cooked meat in the bowl of your Kitchen-Aid stand mixer

 fitted with the paddle attachment.

·       Turn the mixer on low….low speed is important

 (this process only takes a few seconds) otherwise you will have meat flying everywhere.

·       Continue until the meat is shredded to your liking.

DO NOT OVER SHRED!

Once the meat is shredded add to the recipe you are making OR freeze in an appropriate freezer container for future use.  Be sure to label package before placing meat inside.

Let me know if you try it and how YOU like it!
