Title: First attemp at ribs
Post by: Water101 on December 19, 2011, 12:10:38 PM
Well I ventured into the rib making family on the weekend and they came out excellent.

I used the 3-2-1 method and they were some tasty.

The only question I have is are there other ways to do them besides the 3-2-1 method that work as well. They were great just always like to try new things.

Look delish!! Home made perogies? I didn't know you made those too. You probably shouldn't have told me that you make perogies.

They are a process but I'm good at those. I usally make them with my sister we'll do it on a Saturday and make about 25 to 30 dozen, I made about 12 dozen myself Saturdaya nd they were some of the best I made ever.

The only thing I found (for myself) was the 321 method made the rib a bit drier. Now these are back rids only mind you. A side rib probably wouldn't have this issue. Plus I think it depends on the amount of fat the rib has, but where I get mine they are pretty lean. So what I do is exactly like a normal; 3-2-1 but I open foil and add the sauce and then re-wrap them to hold the moisture in longer. That makes them just perfect. It takes a touch longer that the last hour because of the foil, its more like 2 hrs. So I guess it would be a modified 3-2-2 method ;D

Thanks for that, I found the flavor great but would have liked them a little more moist, they weren't dry just not flowing with juices.

I add apple juice when i put them in the foil.  I think it makes an incredible difference.

Maybe an ftc (foil, towel, cooler)  for a couple hours after the cook is done would help.

Looks like your first try at ribs came out good.

I don't foil anymore.  I've used the method described in the link below for the last several cooks.  I love the result and have had several comments from company that the ribs were better than any they've had at rib joints.

I still do a lot of experimentation but I'm set on this rib method.

Yes, that's called the Texas Crutch (http://www.amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/texas_crutch.html).  I do the same thing.

Excellent looking ribs!

Here is my version of the 3,2,1 method...
I use 3,1,2 which helps keep the barq from becoming too wet.
