Season ribs the night before a cook?

skywarrior

Seems like I've read opinions on applying rub right before or several hours ahead of cooking. Just wondering what any of your thoughts and experiences are.

Not necessary.

Right before for me, I don't want them to cure

Like @Ikapigian said…I ruined some spares once by rubbing the night before. That produced a funky, off taste! I learned my lesson!

I don't bother unless I'm doing a dry cure with Salt and Brown Sugar.

I've not found it necessary to season ahead of time. Didn't notice any difference the one time I did apply rub earlier.

30 - 45 before, that's it

I have been salting mine the night before, as per Amazing ribs.  But, the rub can go on anytime.

What @lkapigian said. They can almost get 'hammy' is it's salt heavy and applied too soon.
