Icbinb (I can't believe it's not butter) as coating

Icbinb (I can't believe it's not butter) as coating. Pics added.

Was going thru some old threads and saw that some people use ICBINB (I can't believe it's not butter) with their briskets. Does anyone still do this and if so, how do you apply it? Schmear it on before applying a rub? Melt it and add it to an injection? Dip slices in it before turn in?

I've used it as a baste before, by itself and mixed with other ingredients. I don't think it brings much to the table in terms of flavor....at least by itself. But that's just me.....

I don't know about ICBINB but I have started using butter in a marinade that I put on the brisket when I wrap it. Still experimenting but it seems to work OK.

Someone a while back said it makes the meat "shinier". Just wondering how that works.

Actually, I've seen Parkay squeezable used...when the ribs are about done the margerine is applied lavishly to the slab and brown sugar is then applied (again, lavishly)...the ribs then go back in the heat to melt the margerine and sugar...

Definately makes for rib candy!! Oh yeah, I've seen this done with chicken, too.

I saw Parkay used for the first time last weekend at the Irving Cook-Off. It appeared that everyone was using it on their ribs. They were applying it just prior to foiling.

Bigmista · Mar 2, 2007

That's when I generally use honey.

The_Kapn · Mar 2, 2007

I've seen butter (normally squeeze Parkay), honey, molasses, and who knows what else used.
Never really tried any, but need to someday.

Try some and let us know.

I've seen the ICBINB used on chicken right at the end to add a shine

SP · Mar 2, 2007

I know Mike Davis uses alot of parkay (hopefully we'll get some insite from Plowboy), but I don't know about brisket.

Actually, I wouldn't do that to Mike Davis.

Gonna split a rack of ribs. Foil half with icbinb (actually Parkay) and the other half with honey.

Bigmista · Mar 3, 2007

Just split the rack and put them in the foil. Here's where we are...

I will update when they come out of the foil...

Pleeeeeez do. SOON.

Bigmista · Mar 4, 2007

Here are the pics I promised.

This is the ribs with honey coming out of the foil.

This is the butter (margarine) ribs coming out of the foil.

This is both with sauce before going back in the smoker.

This is the honey ribs coming out of the smoker and sliced.

This is the butter ribs coming out of the smoker and sliced.

The verdict?

Damn! I make some good ribs!!!
