At a contest what do you cut your ribs with?

WineMaster · 08-22-2009, 11:51 AM

A knife.

ingenious!

I had some beautiful spares at the contest last week, all glazed and ready to go! I start cutting and I start hitting a lower level of bones, I felt like turning them over so I could see, but then there goes the nice glaze!

I use a filet knife. I also cut them while the are "standing up"

Sledneck · 08-22-2009, 02:12 PM

I lay them meat side down and use a boning knife or a santuko(sp?)

I turn them meat side down so I can see the bones and use a granton slicer.

same here.

meat down but I cover the cutting board with sauce and it helps keep the nice glaze.

...great idea...thanks for the tip!

Prairie Smoke · 08-24-2009, 03:07 PM

I just lay the rack bone side down, feel for the bones with my left thumb and index finger, and cut right in between the bones...
