Bend test?? WTF is the bend test???

[Jason TQ]

How does one do the bend test when folks coil up ribs on say a 18.5 WSM? I was made aware the bend test was the only way to tell when ribs are done.............. Maybe the "unbend test"

The same, until they fall apart, in my experience.

They are done when a toothpick slides in and out easily in the thickest part.
