Mixing robots are a very useful element, even essential in the kitchens of baking lovers, as they make preparations considerably easier. To whip egg whites until stiff, to prepare the dough for sponge cakes, cakes and cookies, to create creamy fillings and toppings…
But the truth is that the pastry field is not the only one that can benefit from a mixer. Specifically, users of the social network TikTok have shown a use that will save you a lot of time from now on: shredding the chicken with your mixer.
Shredding a roast chicken is a somewhat tedious task. There are those who prefer to do it with a fork and knife or scissors, while others opt for their hands. But you can save time and effort if you have a kneading robot. You just have to put the chicken in the container, use the flat beater accessory and progressively regulate the power as the meat is shredded.
TikTok user @paishence.love tested this trick she found on said social network. Although at first she thought it wouldn’t work, after a few minutes she saw how the chicken was perfectly shredded. The video in question has almost 600 thousand likes.
Shredded chicken meat can be used in various preparations, such as topping for vegetable creams or soups, filling for lasagnas, cannelloni, empanadas and dumplings, croquettes, fajitas, tacos, burritos and a long etcetera. In short, a preparation with a lot of versatility.
Under the alias @deliciousmartha, this cook has 1.4 million followers on TikTok who don’t miss her recipes and practical tricks. Precisely among her cooking tips videos we find one where she uses a whisk mixer to shred the chicken, perfect for those who do not have a food processor.
And in that same video, he reveals other very useful tricks. For example, cut the watermelon with dental floss, to avoid scares with the knife. He also reveals that if you keep lemons or limes in a container with water in the refrigerator, they will keep longer, up to two months.
Does it usually happen to you that water overflows from the pot when you boil it? Add a few ice cubes to quickly stop the cooking. Another of Martha’s secrets is to add ricotta cheese to scrambled eggs to make them creamier without adding cream. Finally, she recommends filling a carton with water and freezing it, and then using that large ice cube in a container to chill several drinks at once.
