G'day all,
I had a crack at a rack of costco pork ribs today and the results were so-so.
I started off with a 1.9kg rack of pork ribs, which I rubbed with cherry rub and left them in the fridge overnight.
This morning I fired up the GMG and set it to 110°C and put the ribs in. I used the 'bend test' a couple of times through the cook and they weren't even looking like bending until the last hour of the cook. Then I applied some sweet baby ray's sauce and left them for about 1 hour. I then pulled them and cut them up and served with some corn cobs and jacket potatoes.
Some observations and stats of the cook, feel free to jump in and critique.
The ribs were quite meaty but not a lot of fat.
The cook went for 8 hours at 110°C. There was no foiling, wrapping, spritzing or searing (I'm a lazy so and so). I used this method last time with some aldi ribs and they turned out fine, although the last cook may have been a bit shorter?
When I was cutting the ribs, I found that the thick side had a thick bark, was a bit stringy and it broke more than cut cleanly than the thinner side.
There seemed to be good smoke penetration and the flavour was good, just a bit too chewy.
Thanks for looking.
