Mostly only personal cooks and competitive cooking remove the membrane. 

 

Aren't there two membranes?

 

I've removed using paper towel method. Pain in ass

But in my defense I'm also in charge of making the spaghetti sauce. I also do all the grilling. And I also do KP duty when Kathy does the cooking and any other duties as assigned. I've become a pretty damn good sous chef. 👨‍🍳

 

Yup, you are Bucky sure are two of a kind.  Exactly the limited cooking Bucky does...his all day cooking spaghetti sauce and being the grill chef.  😉  Though lately I have taken over doing the grilled pork tenderloin...I think the meat thermometer scares him.  😄 😄

Now that's funny. I just bought a new meat thermometer on Monday.

In our house...I cook...Bucky cleans up. Well trained husband.  😉 

Eric is pretty good with helping out, but he has the bum arm (broken humerus) still in a sling.    we went for xrays today and have a follow up appt. with ortho doc end of the week.

Speaking of food... We were so disappointed in the BBQ place on Oasis...  While the stuff tasted really good, they left the membrane on our ribs.  WTH?  Is that even a thing?  Every rib recipe we've tried (we've only done smoker and instant pot recipes), specifically tells you to remove the membrane prior to cooking.

 

I make ribs in the crock pot. They stand up around the side. Recipe says to leave membrane on for support. After a few hours they are falling off the bone. They have a dry rub in the crick pot, then finished off sauced either under the broiler or on the grill depending on weather.

I've never removed the membrane.

Just unAmerican. Not BBQ Ribs.

No, not authentic bbq but it works for me. The former neighbors across the alley had a smoker and used it almost every weekend. We had to smell that wonderful aroma for hours. John doesn't want a smoker or BGE so I do it my way. Maybe when he retires in a year...

Ok- super interested in this- two membranes?  I’ve only seen the one.  Do good cuts have 2?

Interesting!  My instant pot recipes tell me to remove them...

I'll have to try it next time. It looks so easy on FoodTV.

I remove the membrane.  It is not hard to do.  Then I bake at 350 for 2-3 hours wrapped in foil.  Uncover, slather on sauce and bake another 30 min.  All other BBQ is done by husband on the grill.

Super easy to remove- we use butter knife and paper towel

Exactly, this is my method.  Add spice rub before baking in the foil, then finish up with bbq sauce on the grill. Super tender that way.

In our house, I cook and I do the dishes, the DW puts up the dishes after.  Even better trained husband.😇

My husband also does the majority of the cooking. This started because we worked very different hours and he needed to go to bed much earlier and therefore eat on the early side .... so he prepared for both of us.  I have a few dishes I occasionally make.  If any baking e.g. cupcakes, cookies  .... that is me. 

 

I do most clean-up. 

 

With grown children, we started to eat out on weekends.  We had to, of course, stop early-pandemic, but have been able to continue with eating in restaurants since June, following all rules and as allowed.  Without incident, thank goodness. 

 

Best to all.

34f this morning.

It is cold and the road in our close is icy.

It is my late mam and dad's 71st wedding anniversary today so we are just going to have a quiet day in watching Judge Judy on TV.

We buy Smithfield three-packs of baby back ribs at our local Costco.  I always removed the membrane, but about two or three years ago I found the membrane had already been removed.  

 

Even though the instructions say to not rinse them (same for poultry) I always do.  I'm careful to avoid splashing outside of the sink area and do a careful cleanup afterwards.

Done. Let’s go cruising

As popular as you are Rory... you might want to remove that picture.  😅

Ouch...hope it continues to mend, and good luck with the follow up appointment.  Hope it is all good news!  🙂
