Rib pull back - Page 3

ViciousGame · 09-10-2013, 10:19 PM

I've heard that some teams actually put a gloved finger in between the bones and pushed the meat back themselves prior to foiling. This way all the bones have the same amount of pullback. I tried this on my last practice cook and it did work.

Focus on tenderness of the meat, not exposure of the bones.

I was really thinking the same thing... I don't think this is or has ever been an issue.

I would never score down on appearance for no pullback, but it might make the difference if there was nice pullback and I was having a hard time deciding between an 8 or 9.

I have followed this thread closely.
And I usually don't have much if any pull back on my ribs.
But I noticed in the Rib TD that the top three members/votes have a good pull back on their ribs. I think it is a matter of how good it looks, and the pull back adds to the appearance of the ribs. Looks good = mind saying it tastes good for sure.
Just my humble opinion.

when you loose a GC or a RGC by tenths of a point it ALL matters...
