Spare Ribs Question?

Nolan · June 2009

Got 2 slabs from sams club today had a hard time getting the membrane off on one of them barely got any membrane off the rib. Are these gonna be any good? I cut them up st louis style second pair got all of the membrane off is the first slab a waste? Thanks Nolan.

NO, There are some who don't do that but I've heard the seasoning won't penetrate as well. I have always pulled the skin but once I didn't pull all the skin on beef ribs, and after they where cooked you could easily remove it. The ribs where still good.

I used to par-boil ribs and that would definately loosen up the skin, then season and finish on the grill adding sauce if you like at the end if you like.

Go for it. As already mentioned you will be fine. Do you think that most commercial BBQ joints hire people to remove the membrane?

Thanks i will also be cooking them as car wash mike does for his baby backs is that a good way to go?

He cooks a lot more ribs than I do and I have followed his advise with good results. What's the worst that can happen, you were ready to scrap them anyway so go for it.
