A shank or "Eisbein" as the Germans call this dish, has its own history and traditions.

The shin should not be very large, fat and old (in terms of the age of the pig, and not the freshness of the meat), at the same time too young will be small, lean, in general one bone and 200 grams of meat. You should search for the golden mean, do not hesitate to consider, pick up and touch the chosen product. Ideally the shin should not be long, but plump, meat, with not a lot of fat. You should understand that the skin in the shank is also edible, so the skin should be tender, thin, light and without damage. If you still have a shank with bristles, then it must be sedimented and well washed in warm water with the help of the hard side of the kitchen sponge.
