Baby Back Slab Selection

How do you guys choose slabs of baby backs?

I used to look for smaller slabs – under 2.25 lbs. Recently I’ve been getting shiners with slabs this small. I didn’t notice the shiners because the slabs were folded in the packaging. It's difficult to find slabs this small and I'm starting to think I probably just didn't cook the larger slabs long enough. Does size matter? :icon_blush:

I’m also not a fan of the “double bone” at one end. We tend to get those in the 3 packs from Sam’s. I find it difficult to tell when it is in the cryovac.

So what’s your selection method?

Shiners = bones visible on the top side. In other words you can see the length of the bone as it is not covered with meat. I'd imagine they got their name because the bones are shining through?
