I'm shure there are several ways to clean a set of jaws. I have ruined every set i have tryed to boil or short cut in any way. I take a sharp knife and cut every little piece if meat i can get off. carefull around the tendons on the sides and the top and bottom. If ya cut to much out of the joints they will deform. Around the teeth there is a peice of skin ya have to get off. Take a pair fo grip pliars and pull as ya cut. after ya have cut as much as ya can, wet them down and salt them very heavily. Every critter in the world wants ya jaws to chew up and shit out. Set them out in the sun on a roof top or tied to a pole up high. Put them in a shed at night so the dew does not fall on them. The main thing to make them quit stinking is keeping them dry.

If you put borax laundry soap on them and put them in the sun they will be nice and white. The borax is not attractive to vermits...

The old school way was to scrape off all the meat, soak it for a couple of hours in a big bucket with water & bleach solution, prop them open with a couple of sticks in a t formation, then dry on the roof.
