An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

I just opened a pack of chicken breast, seasoned with salt and pepper, put water a stock cube and a chunk of ginger in the instant pot, put the chicken on the rack, and pressure cooked for 25 mins. When done I removed most of the liquid and shredded the chicken right in the pot with a blunt mixer. About as much effort as making a sandwich and now I have frozen portions of shredded chicken ready to add to soup/salad/sandwiches.

Semipro tip: wait for the meat to cool down, like 15min minimum, before you shred it. The meat coming out of a pressure cooker is so hot and the meat fibers so tight that all the juices just squeeze out when you break it open. Give it that rest and it'll relax and that juice will reabsorb, and the resulting shred will stay sooo much more moist.

I will be trying that out! But with pork!

Shredded pork comes out great in a crock pot too, though it's a 4-6 hr affair vs 30 mins. I use a Boston butt
