Spare ribs to St. Louis cut...

Morning All:
We are having some friends over for dinner this evening & ribs are on the menu...I grabbed a package of spare ribs at Restaurant Depot last week...I wanted to brine the ribs but realized I didn't have a container big enough so solved that issue by taking two foil half-pans, cutting the end out of each, overlapped the open ends then wrapped in foil until I felt it was sturdy enough (plus unlikely to leak)...here is the "pan" with the full slab...

I then trimmed the slab to a St. Louis cut & added to the pan with the brine...

I'll put the ribs on in a couple hours so more pictures later.

Secret brine recipe? Us mere mortals shouldn’t know.

Morning @DavidCrumpton
No, not secret, I just included it in a message I got from Ron about another subject...here is the recipe...Basic Brine recipe
3 quarts water
0.5 cup Kosher salt
0.5 cup Turbinado sugar
splash (maybe 0.25 cup) Orange Juice
splash (maybe 2 tablespoons) Soy Sauce
squeeze of honey (maybe 2 tablespoons)
stir everything together until salt/sugar dissolved (I do not heat)
I use this for almost all of the chicken & pork I cook, leaving the protein in the brine for 90 to 120 minutes depending on if I get busy & forget about it.
Have a GREAT day!
