does it REALLY do that

we all love ideas that take not so simple tasks & makes them simple
come on that's why we're all drawn to infomercials...
and the junk products they sell

not only something that simplifies something,
but also does it for little or no cost!

so I'm starting a new series of posts called
...does it REALLY do that....
I know, I know such an original title!


anyways...now with pintrest fever hitting the world lots of new cooking/cleaning/gardening tips have gone viral without many people actually trying them...just pinning them...

so I'm going to start testing them...
my first test...
have you seen this on pintrest...or even just heard rumor that it's true?
that you can shred your cooked chicken with your kitchen aid (or other stand mixer)?

this is the thing...
they (not sure who they are) say that you can put cooked chicken breast into your kitchen aid...
turn it on...
and then within minutes had shredded chicken...
not chopped chicken like you get with a food processor...
not the claw-hand you get after hand shredding with 2 forks and your hands...
but like honest-to-goodness shredded chicken...

I heard it...
thought, "that's crazy amazing...it can't work!"
I pinned it...
thought, "that'd be crazy amazing IF it worked!"
...
and then YES, I tested it...
 one cook chicken breast in my kitchen aid with regular blade/paddle thingy
 dumped in a package of taco seasoning and onion soup mix
(side note...best seasoning combo E.V.E.R!)

 after 30 seconds...sorta chunky looking
 and at 1 minute...seriously 1 minute!!!  shredded chicken

BLOG Edit...this was on medium speed

it is CRAZY AMAZING!  


By Golly...YES it does!



have you heard any crazy time saving cooking/cleaning/gardening tip 
or pinned any
and you've said to yourself

let me know I may test it out for you!

You said it...Amazing! What speed do you put the mixer on?

Makes me wonder if it would also shred beef & pork?

I just did this the other night and it was so awesome! It was shredded in less than a minute for me. New favorite thing about our Kitchen Aid mixer. :)
