Picture this: It’s Taco Tuesday. You’re going to make BBQ chicken tacos (or whatever taco recipe you’re in the mood for). Or maybe you just made a big ol’ batch of pulled pork for game day and to meal prep for the rest of the week. That tender, juicy meat may already be falling off the bone, but at some point, you’re going to need to shred it.

Can you use two forks and do it the old-fashioned way? You sure can. But you can totally speed up the process with a meat shredder! Especially if you’ve got a lot to shred or if it’s a weekday and you just want to cut down on prep time, it’s one of those gadgets that you didn’t know you needed until you try it.

What’s that? Wondering if Ree Drummond has one available at Walmart as part of The Pioneer Woman collection? Why, she sure does! And it’s only $8. You simply place the meat in the shredder, pop the lid on top, and give it a quick spin. The little prongs shred the meat for you, lickety-split. Don’t you love it when something is so easy?

All pieces of The Pioneer Woman meat shredder are made out of BPA-free plastic, so you don’t have to worry about sharp metal blades injuring your hands. The prongs are just spiky enough to shred the meat. Plus, that means everything is dishwasher-safe, making cleanup as easy as the prep work.

What can you shred with it? Just about anything you’d want to. Chicken, beef, pork, fish: They’re all easily prepared in the shredder, saving you time and energy getting dinner on the table. And you don’t even have to cook the meat yourself. Get a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred away!

Think of all the casseroles you could make that much faster during the busy school year, or how much more enjoyable the backyard cookout can be when you’re not standing over a pile of meat with two forks. And for just $8, you’ll have the right tool for the job so you can get back to life (and eating!) faster. You’ll thank yourself for it.
