Turned this on to watch during my lunch. Seems like what you would expect from a show like this. There was a point where someone said they were shooting for an IT of 170 on ribs. I think a graphic popped up saying that ribs weren't considered safe until cooked to 195. I thought they would be safe at 170, but just really tough.

I don't think it said they would not be safe at 170...I think it said tender.

Starting another thread about the cookers.

That's unfortunate. Ribs are actually safe at 145, not that you'd eat them there.

edit - they're probably safe far below that in a smoking environment, since food safety is a function of temperature and time. The temps recommended by the FDA are temps needed to instantly kill 99.99% of bacteria, but you can also kill 99.99% by holding at a lower temperature, for longer.

I looked at it again and the judges seemed worried about the tenderness. The graphic said " 195 is the recommended IT for safely cooked ribs". Nit picky, but they could have left the word safely out of the graphic.

don't think the top guys cook ribs by temp rather by looks and feel ( bend in the ribs) at least i do.

This show literally has none of the top cooks. But it is well produced and fun if you are into BBQ.

Jabba1221 · 09-18-2020, 06:29 PM

Just finished the whole series and was not disappointed. What I liked about it was taking cooks out of their comfort zone and taking different approaches to barbecue and was a good watch IMO.

I'm 5 episodes in an I'm enjoying it. Rasheed is my favorite. Every time he speaks, I can't get over how much he sounds like Dennis Haysbert (Major League - Jobu / Allstate spokesman).

PullinPork · 09-19-2020, 12:37 AM

I’m a bit embarrassed that as the OP, it took me until tonight to start watching.
Got in 3 episodes. Although there were a few cringe-worthy moments, I liked it.

Nuco59 · 09-19-2020, 07:23 AM

Didn't know anything about it- so I flipped it on this morning.

Having a hard time getting into it.

Not crazy about the judges/hosts- but they do seem to have some real characters as contestants.
