Skinning Ribs

sound's great.alway's hated "skinning rib's"

Pulling that membrane off isn't my favorite part of the 'smoke' either...I'll give this a try.

using a paper towel really helps grab the slippery sucker. Rips off pretty easy.

Great tip about rolling the ribs!! I have done ribs many times after pulling the membrane but this is the first time I have ever rolled them first to stretch the membrane. I did 6 racks of baby backs a bit ago that in the smoker now. It literally took me the same amount of time as one stubborn rack did in the past.

Cool,

I will try this trick tomorrow, on three racks of baby backs.


Thank you,

I tried it at a contest this weekend and it worked great. Great tip!!!

How'd you do?

Forgot about that post. Not my idea, the originator posted it on Ray's site, I just passed it along.

We came in fifth place overall with Craig getting a third place call in chicken. I got a ninth in ribs. Not bad but this was with about 6-7 noncertified judges in the process. As far as I am concerned, there should not be any reason for that as there were only 34 teams and there are more than enough certified judges in the central florida area to judge this one. But for some reason they could not be bothered with coming out. Sad.

It was an excellent contest otherwise. Robin, and all of her volunteers, did an excellent job and there was a 50% increase in teams there this year over last. We will definitely be back.

Thanks a bunch for this tip. Just did two racks of B'backs. Membrane peeled off in one quick rip. No problem whatsoever! Kinda like the difference between peeling an orange and a tangrirne. Whoa!

Wheelz, thanks for updating this topic. I'm going to be skinning 4 racks this weekend and can't wait to try this. I would have never thought about doing a search for skinning ribs. I thought I was all over that. An thanks again for your smoke ring tip.

Always happy to help Hope it works well for you too!
