Honey Glazed Ribs...

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
Work and life in general has been crazy the past couple months. It is normal for me this time of year, but I decided it was time to take a Saturday and make some Q. I invited a few friends and they brought the sides. I was making ribs-- it had been too long. It also gave me an opportunity to try the new eggcesory I bought a few weeks ago. I have a rib rack and it would have worked even though it would have been a little cramped. The rack worked well, the ribs were delicious, the sides were great, and the company was the best part. I used Adam Perry Lang's recipe from Serious Barbecue as a guidline, but I veered off the path here and there. If you follow his recipe you will have great results.

It was a really great day capped off with good food and great friends. The wife and I were both exhausted, but it was worth it.

    The ribs look great! I have some to cook today, why do I always get eggcited about a rib cook? The cake also looks to die for.

    Looks like a great day was had by all, and that's just the main course and the desert. ;)

    Do I see yellow mustard on those ribs? I have just started doing that on my ribs and pork butts and what a difference?!?! I love how the flavor is subtle and and the mustard "goes away". Helps the rub stick better too. Looks great, I think I might make some ribs later today.

    Regarding his mustard moisturizer, what did you do different?

    I did a blind taste test just to see what the wife liked best. I did one rack with regular yellow mustard and another rack using his recipe for the mustard moisturizer (I also added more worchestire sauce and apple cider vinegar than what the recipe called for). Both racks had the same rub and same BBQ sauce.

    The wife chose the ribs with mustard moisturizer three straight plates, so I've been doing it that way ever since. I'll admit, I couldn't taste much difference.

    I've also started putting the first slather of it one the night before. When I did that, I seemed to notice a little more zing.

    Yes and no. Yes the 3 tier cooked pretty even, but I noticed that the racks were not the same thickness from rack to rack. So the ribs in the thicker slabs were spot on and the rib slabs that were thinner were a skoash drier, but still quite tasty.

    I will say the one thing I did notice about cooking them this way was a significant reduction in air flow. I am sure I will go back to the rib rack for ribs. However, the 3-tier is a good addition and I look forward to doing a mess of chicken wings in the near future. :lol:

    Yes... its a mix of yellow mustard, cider vinegar, and water. Usually Worcestershire too... but thats another story.

    I usually amp up the worcestershire and cider vinegar and cut back on the water. However, I had bought some "organic" worcestershire sauce a few months ago and it was chunky. I think thats a bad thing when it comes to worcestershire so I tossed it. :lol: I was too far along to fetch more so this version was just mustard, cider vinegar, and water. I like mine to be a little thicker than his recipe so I add the water a little at a time until I get where I am going.

    I really like his recipes, but almost always swerve on and off his path. While I am certain he believes in the things he does, and who am I to say he is wrong, I find that I get the results I like with a little less mess and a lot less work. :)
