Ribs, been a while

feef706 · April 2016

Cooking ribs for a buddies birthday, haven't done them in some time, first time trying spare ribs, they are the tall ones in the back, baby backs up front and one small piece behind the spares, almost 2 hrs in. Looks like it's time for some apple juice spritz...

Oh ya. I bet they will be good

A little over 3 hours in, looking pretty good.

Almost time to pull them bad boys!

The spares are cooked up, but the baby backs aren't pulling from the bone at all, a little annoying, guess they cannot be combined.

Seems odd the spares would finish before the baby backs. What are you doing to determine doneness?

My faves!

The spares weren't very tender, not sure what happened there but the baby backs came out good, they never pulled from the bone. I basically just did a bend test to tell when they seemed done.

Spares were in the back, probably ran a little hotter back there, so maybe looked more done than they were? They usually take 45 min to an hour longer for me before they give up.

Toothpick test for the finish-always works for me and I don't need to be so skilled with tongs and the bend test

Longer than back ribs? That would make sense why they were tougher
