My spares have been in for 75 minutes around 260-275 F and I'm getting small white bubbles- well they're not bubbles, just opaque white little dots/domes. I can push them off with tongs.. I'm guessing it's some kind of rendered fat since they had a bit on them. Help?

In focus Pics of this syndrome would help my diagnosis.

As long as the ribs didn't smell extra funky when you put them on I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't wipe them off either. If it is just fat rendering then you're wiping away basting goodness.

I agree. Let 'em ride. :thumb:

I'll try to post pics but I think I'm alright. I didn't stick my nose in them but they didn't smell bad out of the vacuum pack.

Let them ride, close the lid and have another beer.

I've seen that on meats before. I think it is water turning to steam and making bubbles of fat on the surface. Remember, if your ribs came in a cryovac, they have probably been "enhanced" 15 percent or more with water and salt.

CD, thanks for the advice. There was absolutely no liquid in them when I opened 'em up. Quite odd. Usually some blood, or brine, but none. :confused:

I would agree, though I would have started with the beer before even posting on this forum. Beer should always be your first line of defense.:laugh:

Not necessarily. All the spares I buy at Costco, local butcher & RD come cryo'd and none are enhanced. You need to read the package carefully and know what you're buying.
