Notes

You may want to consider a manual shredder I found at Walmart for approximately 13 dollars. Useful to shred chicken, pork and beef.  Dishwasher safe.  Looks like a plate with small posts ,and a top with handles to twist left  and right, also with posts. Look for the one with the insert to content the meat, eases the transfer.
