Don’t Boil Ribs
When people find out that my hobby is BBQ most of the time I get asked, “Do you want to know how to bbq the best ribs in the world?” I want to say, “No, I don’t want to know.” But the nice guy in me usually says “sure go ahead and tell me.”
The vast majority of the time the recipe has something to do with boiling the ribs. This is such a sin against good meat. I blame television chefs and newspaper/magazine writers for this horrible trend.
I was prepared for much the same when I picked up the Sacramento Bee this morning. I was surprised and thankful to read one of the first and only newspaper recipes that not only didn’t include boiling ribs, it actually recommended against it.
Gwen Schoen’s article and video is first rate. It’s great to know there are indeed some people in the media who can actually BBQ. Gwen’s no poser here. And I’d take this technique over that “Throwdown” chef any day.
What’s Cooking: Stick to your ribs.
