Bend Test

Posts: 74
There is a lot of information out there on doing the bend test for ribs. I have only done baby back using the 2-2-1 method with a temp of 225-230 degrees.
When I have tried doing a bend test the want to break instead of bend.
Suggestions?

Go with the toothpick test for the win. Much easier to use and judge the finish-line before the cook runs long. (And works regardless of rack size).Generally if a full rack breaks, it is over-done.

i think the bend test works better with ribs that never see foil. 2 hours in foil and babybacks will break everytime

IMHO 2hrs in foil is too long. The meat will fall off the bone too easily.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser
