What each ingredient does

Cold boiled pigs' feet
Provide the main body of the dish, which the broiler heats and browns on the outside.
Butter
Adds richness and moisture to the surface of the feet once melted over them.

The step that matters

Browning under the broiler. Broiling heats the feet quickly from above, so they can scorch before they are heated through. Watch them closely and move them as needed to get even browning with the inside warm.
