A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
Usually sold cleaned, whole, split or chopped into pieces. It contains small bones, skin and tendons with relatively little lean meat; it is not pork belly.
In the kitchen
Used in ginger-vinegar pork, braises and soups. Separate edible skin and meat from bones when eating.
Front and hind feet and butcher cuts differ; some preparations include an adjoining lower-leg section. A meaty pork hock alone is a different cut.
