- Tips for making the Best ribs
- Here are a few tips and tricks that will help you understand how to make the ribs to perfection all the time.
- If you are using the rack of ribs, always make sure to remove the back membrane. You can do it by tucking in fingers between the membrane and the rack and pushing outwards to remove it.
- If you are using the rib cuts, then cooking time may vary from 7 to 8 hours. If you are looking for shredded-styled ribs, then 8 hours are perfect other 7 hours for the bite-like consistency.
- If you are using racks sealed in vacuum bags, they might have extra salt in them. We will ask you to buy fresh ribs from your local butchers instead.
