    Yes, I boil them first (using my favorite seasonings) until they are tender. Then I place them on a pan, cover them with barbeque sauce, and put them in the oven for 10 or 15 minutes to bake the sauce on the pig feet.

    Once you've added your pig's feet and seasonings, bring the water to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and let the pig's feet simmer for 2-3 hours. Though, some recipes call for the pig's feet to simmer for up to 6 hours so all of the marrow and collagen is released. A good rule of thumb is when the meat falls off of the bones, then the pig's feet are done.

    Yes, there is a little bit of meat on pig's feet. But, there's a lot of tasty gelatin and collagen in the tendons and skin. When you cook the pig's feet down, the gelatin, collagen, and marrow from the bones are released into the stock, giving it a rich and full-bodied flavor profile.

    Six hours, after bringing them first to a swift boil on the stove. Boiling the trotters helps to clean them. And season them with apple cider vinegar in the boiling water.
