Hi,

Curious to know if anyone wraps their competition ribs with Kerrygold Butter instead of Parkay? If so, does it five off that burnt brown butter taste or does it turn out good? If you do use it, how have you scored?

Thank you and be safe!

I've done a few rib cookoffs and most guys were wrapping. I've seen quite a few "pro" teams use real butter, some used a few tablespoons others a whole stick
 
i've used real butter, parkay and butter bath......the one I prefer the most is the butter bath, but mostly because of convenience rather than any definitive taste difference in the methods.
 
My buddy uses butter at comps and he does fine. I have seen guys over the years use Parkay, but most use unsalted butter.

I actually use non dairy margarine. I had to try a few brands that didn't give an "off" taste/smell (some brands smell mildly fishy? after the foil)... but I have one now that has no discerning off flavor/aroma. Took 2nd out of 22 teams last year at the local CABBQ comp.

Buddah...mmmm. Yes butter on the ribs, although please don't waste your nice Kerry Gold butter on wrapping ribs. Put that on a nice warm baguette. Just some average butter will do for the ribs. I use salted, regionally made butter. If you wanted to take it up a notch and its on sale, Land O Lakes is great.
 
I use parkay.. not sure if I taste it or not.. being one of many ingredients that goes in the wrap. Then again we probably shouldn't taste it.. not much if anything.
