Balls Casten
is Blowin Smoke!
First thank you for the input on the chicken thread.
For the Super bowl I am taking a case on ribs down to the local bar. So I am taking the opportunity to try my hand at trimming ribs. Just like the chicken, aside from some very obvious hunks of fat or loose meat, we did not trim. We would pull the membrane from the underside and clean that up the best we could.
So here are the ribs, which one from each group would you select and why?
#1 - A, the best rack of the bunch, thin some of the fat in the center.
#2 - B, less fat than the others
#3 - A, I would thin the large fat area in the center. Downside the length of each rib would be different.
How did I do?
I'll post the trimmed ribs before they go on the smoker.
