Rib Membrane
I just bought two racks of BB ribs from Stop and Shop here on Long Island. They have the name Indiana Kitchen on the label. Here's the question.........They didn't seem to have the membrane on them, do some processors remove this? I am curious because I usually buy my ribs from the local butcher and I always have to remove it.
Or am I just going blind ? I hope its already been removed because I rubbed one down anyway. The other will be smoked naked and brushed with bbq sauce towards the end. I also plan to squirt with apple juice/jack daniels every half hour or so after about two hours. |

Periodically I run into a slab that already has the membrane removed. Maybe just a fluke but I'll take it.

Once in a while I'll find a rack with the membrane already gone or partially gone.It will still be good eats if you cook em right. I would not sweat over one rack. Good Luck and enjoy !

Yeah, sometimes they have been removed. Never sure if it's on purpose or if it was already started and they just did it for looks.

I guess maybe the membrane has been removed then, if you guys have also run into this as well. I would buy them there again then, they also look meatier( if thats a word ) than the ones I have gotten from the local butcher. I'll keep everyone posted of the cook results. I am going to try to do pics tommorow but I am also watching my two kids as well, so we will see how it all goes.

I like to save up the membranes from twenty or thirty racks, smoke them and throw them on the grill for a membrane sandwich.

There are those who still swear that if you cook them right you don't have to remove it... even on baby backs. There were times when I smoked ribs on my gas grill... BEFORE I got my smoker and forgot to remove the membrane. They were still damn good and no one seemed to notice.
I wouldn't worry about it. Let us know if you notice anything different if you think the membrane was actually intact. |

The local meat guy here sells loin back ribs ready for the rub. The're trimmed of most fat,demembraned and vaccusucked never frozen.
And he gets $3.80 lb which is cheaper than the crappy enhanced frozen BB's in the box stores. Now I'm Jonesin for BB's.. ModelMaker
