Simple method of cooking pig's feet in a pressure cooker

The skin of pig's trotters is relatively thick, and it contains more collagen, so the stewing time of pig's trotters is relatively long. In order to save time, you can put it in a pressure cooker, which can save most of the time. The method of using a pressure cooker to cook the main dish is the same as that in an ordinary pot. Some cleaning work needs to be done before that. The pig's trotters need to be dehaired and deodorized, chopped into large pieces, blanched in water, and then cooked.

How to choose pig's trotters

1. Look at the color and observe the hooves. Normally, pig's trotters should be light yellow after being dehaired, so when you see clean white trotters, you should be alert. However, not all pig trotters soaked in the medicine are white, some are red. The best criterion for judgment is your own hands. No matter how white the hands of the "warriors" are, they have not been bleached. Therefore, by referring to the skin color of your hands, you can easily distinguish this "white" from that "white". Soaked pig's trotters are usually larger than those not soaked. When buying pig's trotters, you cannot just pick the big ones. A normal pig's trotter weighs about 8 taels to 1.2 taels. If it is too big, it is definitely not the "Yao Ming" of the pig's trotter world, but a completely bleached product. Of course, if it is too small, it is not a matter of food safety, but whether it can satisfy your appetite when eaten.
