Meat lovers say this chicken shredder, just $5 at 30% off, does the job in seconds

Burgers and hot dogs get all the love whenever grilling season rolls around, but I'd argue that a juicy pulled chicken sandwich deserves just as much attention. You've got tender meat slathered in sweet and smoky barbecue sauce, topped with a generous serving of refreshingly crunchy coleslaw, all on a soft bun (lightly toasted, if you're me). I mean, does summer cooking get much better than that? I know, I know, shredding chicken (or pork) to make said sandwich takes more effort than mixing up some ground beef and forming it into a patty — or does it? You see, Amazon shoppers have discovered a gadget called the Manba Chicken Shredder that makes quick work of that dreaded task, and it happens to be on sale for a mere $5. Fourth of July cookouts will be here before we know it, just sayin'...

Why is it a good deal? 💰

For less than the cost of most lattes, this device will save you a whole lot of time and effort when you're making pulled meat sandwiches, chicken salad and more. Applying the on-page coupon knocks the (already reasonable) price down by 30%, which my trackers tell me is as low as this shredder has ever been on sale for. Snag one for yourself, and another as a Father's Day gift for the culinary-minded dad in your life.

Why do I need this? 🤔

You're probably wondering how this thing works. Happily, it couldn't be simpler. The Manba is made up of two disks with handles, each with built-in shredding spikes inside. All you do is put your cooked chicken breast (or any other type of meat you'd like to shred) over the spikes of one disk, then place the second one spike-side-down over the meat and start twisting. The spikes quickly separate the meat into thin ribbons — I'm talking mere seconds here.

Because the Manba is translucent, you'll be able to see when your chicken has reached your desired texture without opening it and making a mess. And unlike similar models that involve setting the shredder on your counter and twisting from there, this one only requires your hands, meaning there's no sliding around. Plus, it's safe to pop in the dishwasher once you're finished.

What reviewers say 💬

Amazon shoppers are winging — I mean, singing — the Manba's praises when it comes to speed, ease and results.

Pros 👍

"This is the best invention ever," piped up a pleased poultry prepper. "I used to hate shredding chicken, but now I just stick it in here, turn it a few times and the chicken comes out amazingly perfect, like it’s shredded by a professional. I highly, highly, highly recommend this item."

"I cook from home a lot, so I use this often," mentioned another meat mincer. "I've shredded chicken, pork and beef with it. It works great every time! And it's so quick! You just twist a few times; it takes only five to 10 seconds compared to trying to shred with two forks. I wasn't expecting much because it is plastic. I've really been impressed. If this ever breaks, I'd definitely get this same one again."

"Get one! You won't regret it!" ordered this obsessive. "I checked lots of different meat shredders, but this one is the most solid as it will not slide on the table, and it's very compact. Does its job perfectly."

Cons 👎

"Love this product — it makes shredding chicken a breeze!" exclaimed a mostly content cook. "Grilled chicken turned into chicken salad in minutes! [The] only drawback is that it's a little tough to hand wash."

"I am glad that I chose this particular chicken shredder," wrote a final fan. "[It's] made strong [and the] two parts fit snugly. Only takes a couple of twists for nicely shredded chicken." Their one note? "[It] doesn't hold a lot at a time, but that makes it easy on old wrists. Perfect."
