Pig's trotters are a food that many people like to eat, because they are rich in nutrients such as collagen, and they taste very good.

So, how long does it take to stew pig’s feet until they are tender? This will be introduced below!

1. How long should pig's feet be stewed?

Pig's trotter stew is usually cooked after 1.5 hours or 2 hours. As for why the pig's trotters are not tender even after being stewed for a long time, it may be because the heat was not controlled well when stewing them. If you want to eat the stewed pig's trotters quickly or want to save electricity or gas, you can stew it over high heat at the beginning, or stew it over high heat for 30 minutes, and then simmer it over low heat for another 1-2 hours.

Some people think that there is no need to consider the issue of stewing or cooking, because the longer the pig's trotters are stewed, the better. The longer they are stewed in the pot, the more cooked they will be and the more nutritious they will be. In fact, the longer you stew pig's trotters, the better. It is best to stew them for 1-2 hours, otherwise a lot of nutrients will be lost.

2. Tips for stewing pig's trotters

Before stewing pig's trotters, you should check whether the purchased trotters have local ulcers to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease to consumers. Then pluck or scrape the hair off, chop or chop into large pieces, and put the meat and bones together with the other ingredients into the pot.

Method 1: Add hawthorn. Add 50 grams of hawthorn to 1000 grams of pig's trotter. This will make the trotter easier to chew and taste delicious.

Method 2: Add vinegar. When cooking pig's trotters, adding an appropriate amount of vinegar can not only decompose the gelatin in the bones into more calcium and phosphorus, thereby improving its nutritional value, but also the decomposed protein is easier for the human body to absorb.
