I have never heard of trimming the silver skin off the backs of ribs before. The breadth of information on the site is great. Reading through many of your posts I decided to trim up my St. Louis Style ribs I bought the other day at Costco.
They started out looking like this.
After I trimmed the silver skin off
3 racks are now sitting in the fridge rubbed with Jed's Not So Famous Rib Rub and tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.
Another lesson I learned from this forum, Price doesn't always produce the best end product. I have cooked ribs from my Butcher both Babybacks, and Kurobuta and they were not cheap. They were good, don't get me wrong, but I have never done anything to my ribs other than throw on some rub and off to the cooker they go. Or in the past the would go off to the oven, in a water bath @ 190 all day and then finished on my gasser.
Looking forward to tomorrow's cook, Now it's back to more reading gotta do a pork butt also!
Thanks again!
