Can someone please recommend a meat shredder.
I googled, but am not seeing what I am envisioning in my mind.
I am in need of something, to shred individual size portions.
I am only cooking (not a fan of cooking, but I have to eat. LOL!!) for myself, but I'd like to have enough for next day leftovers or to freeze.
I want to be able to shred a chicken breast or pieces of beef brisket.
The kitchen aid is way to big, and way more than I need.
I saw the Ninja express chop in my google search. But the description didn't specifically say "shredding". Does anyone have one and use it to shred meat?
Thank you for any recommendations you can give.

Me too. Even when I'm shredding 20 plus pounds (I cook chicken and pork in the crock pot, shred it, and freeze it.) It maybe takes me 15 minutes to do 10 lbs. I'm guessing it would take less than a minute to shred a chicken breast with two forks. My dad has some fancy shredding forks that look like something out of Edward Scissorhands. I find them awkward and the chunks of meat are too big for me. If the meat is tender, it will shred effortlessly with forks. |

Use your mixer! Doesn't have to be a kitchen aid, hand mixer will work too.

I think we are up to six fork shredders.  FWIW, I always cook 4-6 chicken breasts or a 3-4 lb. brisket, pot roast, or pork shoulder and have no problem shredding it in 5-10 minutes with two forks. I really am all about buying kitchen gadgets, so it isn't about being thrifty, it really is so easy with forks that I can't picture anything being better. |

Kitchen scissors work, but forks follow.

Not only is it easy to shred with forks, they don't take up any extra room on a counter or in a cabinet. It's always easy to grab a couple. BTW, I use big serving forks to shred. |

another fork shredder. A roast can be shredded easily in just a minute or two. Clean up in minimal and storage space is simply back in the drawer with the other dinnerware.

I've been using the fork separating method. I don't enjoy cooking, so I thought maybe an appliance of some sort would do it quicker and make the process less tedious.
Thank you all for your replies. I guess I'll stick with using the fork.

I refuse to drag out any appliance to shred meat. I am a forker.

I use forks but the mixer looks interesting. No thanks. There was meat flying out of the bowl in that video. And, some of the chicken was pulverized and some of it was in big chunks. The results with the fork method are more even and you don't get the uber tiny shreds that I see in that video. |

I guess I'll stick with using the fork. I have a house full of teens all the time. I buy chicken breasts when they are $1 a pound and cook them up. I pile salted and peppered chicken breasts in a crockpot with about half a cup of white wine and half a cup of chicken broth. Cook for about 4 hours and the chicken will literally just fall apart. For cubing chicken, I roast it because the crockpot chicken falls apart so easily. I drizzle with olive oil and add salt and pepper. Ross at 350 for 25-30 minutes, depending on how thick the breasts are. |
