First Sous Vide Rib attempt

dsrguns

Gave some baby back ribs with DP rub a sous vide bath for 24 hours at 147. Put on egg at 350 dome for 30 minutes flipped, sauced and another 30 minutes. Overall they were good and tender but seemed to lack a lot of flavor throughout. I also would have liked to see more of the fat rendered out. I am open for any suggestions as to improving those aspects for my next attempt. Anyone ever sauced them for the sous vide bath first? Thanks.

Which DP rub?

DP Dizzy Dust all purpose

My SV ribs generally don't pick up as much *smoke* as standard ribs, but flavor isn't an issue, because they cook in the rub for such an extended period.  Maybe Dizzy Dust is too mild, I don't know.

That looks like a winner all round brother!

I didn't cover them heavily with it, maybe I'll try a spicier rub and more of it. Thanks.

Just watch it with rubs with salt - easy to overdo it in my experience.

Will do, the basis for my cook was from one of your discussions. Thank you.

I do these all the time, though I do spares instead of baby backs.  Tonight:

They look great. I will use my AR next time and try to replicate your setup.

    At 147, you may want to consider extending the SV time to 48hrs to render more fat and further tenderize the ribs,
