Quick tips for removing pig hair

Pig hair has a wide range of uses, but when pork is served as food on the table, if the hair is not removed cleanly, it will become a nuisance and will make you feel uncomfortable no matter how you look at it. After pigs are slaughtered in the slaughterhouse, they will go through a depilation process. However, during this process, some hairs are not removed cleanly in some corners such as trotters, tails, and heads. After buying them home, you need to depilate them again.

How to remove the hair from a pig's tail? There are only a few ways to remove pig hair: burning, scalding, scraping, and tweezing.

Burning, using fire, is a quick and clean way to remove pig hair. Turn the gas stove to the lowest setting, then burn the hair on the pig's tail over the fire. The hair will turn to ash as soon as it touches the fire, while the pig's skin will remain intact. This method is suitable for daily household use, but be careful not to burn your hands.

Blanching, using a pan, is a little more troublesome than burning it with fire, but at least it won’t burn. First, heat the bottom of the pot until it's red. While the pot is still hot, immediately put the hairy pig's tail on the pot and sear it. The high temperature can curl and sear the hair off in a short time. Then soak the seared pig's tail in water and wash it clean. If there are areas that are not burned cleanly, repeat the above steps again.

Shave with an eyebrow trimmer. The pig's tail is relatively small, so a kitchen knife is used, or a butcher knife is used to kill a chicken. Generally, an eyebrow trimmer is used to shave. If you don't have an eyebrow trimmer at home, you can use a fruit knife. First, replace the eyebrow trimmer with a new blade, and shave against the direction of pig hair growth. You can shave the pig tail clean with just one pass. Be sure to shave against the direction of pig hair growth, otherwise even if you use all your strength there will still be some pig hair left, which is very annoying.

Tweezers, use tweezers to tweeze. Generally, everyone has tweezers at home. This method is only suitable when there is not much hair on the pig's tail. If there is a lot of hair, you will end up with a lot of tweezers and only complete a little bit. Use tweezers to grab the pig hair, and then pull hard along the direction of its growth to remove it cleanly. Although this method is tiring, the work is more meticulous and can remove some fine hair on the pig's tail.
