Sponge is the Geico caveman :142smilie
Just so you know, I attended and graduated from CIA many many years ago and you ALWAYS boil pork ribs prior to grilling, idiot. The reason you ask? No you won't ask the reason because that would be a good question but I will tell you anyway there Sponge Prudhomme. Pork ribs have a very tough membranous skin on one side. By boiling them not only does it TENDERIZE the meat but it allows you to peel that nasty ass skin off of them prior to grilling and will allow the pork to soak up or absorb the barbeque sauce. Also prior to boiling them salt them heavily with Kosher Salt as this will allow them to retain a good deal of moisture that will help cook them ore thoroughly as we all, well almost all, know that pork takes a considerable amount more time to cook than beef as it is very dangerous when undercooked.
Sponge I am surprised you didn't post something in a douche marinade????? You know..you are what you eat.
Any easy recipe for the grill is to take a whole fryer (chicken for our idiot reader) and rub the inside and out with Kosher salt(always use Kosher, iodized is not recommended for cooking). Then I will take fresh cut Basil, Oregano, and Sage, mash them in a masher, and literally rub the fryer with the smashed leaves very well. Then in the oven roast 2 entire things of Garlic. Not just a clove but the entire thing, before you do though just a helpful hint, cut off the top portion of them before you start roasting them, this will allow you to, when fully roasted about twenty minutes, to simply squeeze from the bottom and the garlic should push right out of the skin fairly easily. Take that garlic and put it all in a food processor and get after it. Add 2-3 tablespoons of rosemary and get after it again, as this is going slowly infuse with Extra Virgin Olive Oil until a paste is formed. A stiff peaked paste actually. Should be about a cup. Take either an apple, lemon, or orange and score it very well and shove into bird cavity. Place on large piece of foil and smear Garlic past over entire bird completely covering it and wrap up in foil. Do not place directly on fire. Roast this for about fifty minutes depending on size of bird, then remove foil to brown for about ten minutes. Just open it up basically. Remove bird and let stand for ten minutes or so. During this time make glaze by reducing white wine sauce with either currant or plum jelly, Worcestershire sauce, salt pepper and a small amount of beef or chicken stock, either one it really won't make that much of a difference and reduce until it is a thick glaze.
Take back of carving knife and knock the paste off of chicken and carve bird.
It is best served over a bed of fried tortilla strips and leeks and then add glaze. If it doesn't get you laid on the spot your mate is dead call an ambulance.
Damn Sponge.......................are you really human or are you one of those apes that can type? Like that one Cocoa I believe her name was.
vinnie ( you da man ) can you post a picture of
the Geico caveman :00hour
Show me one Rib contest where someone is boiling ribs and for 45 minutes to boot. You are not only a total blowhard you seem to be a Jack of all trades and a master of none. Unless I throw in demeaning woman and downs patients then you would be a master at some. Go look at what your Texas neighbor Terray say's which would be the same thing. You must be from the other part of Texas. I think they call dem Texigans.

That remark will get you lots of laughs at Texas BBQ cookoffs. I can tell you never tried it! I have a hard time believing you are serious... Quoting a Yankee authority on ribs is so comprehensively hilarious, I can tell you don't mingle much at any rib contests you may have attended in TX.
for the record DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT BOILING PORK RIBS around ANY of the winners in ANY rib cookoff in Texas (almost all which have pork in addition to beef ribs), or elsewhere. You limitations will expose you to ridicule.
That membrane you get the butcher to remove. If you can't, then first I try to grab and peel the thick edge of that small bone (on short edge of rack) with a clean and dry paper towel. If too tough, then insert dull knife, like a butter knife, in the middle under the membrane and get your fingers under it and work it out both directions. You will see this done live at may cookoffs, get yer larnin' there.
BTW, my brother graduated from CIA few years back and he was taught there properly how to remove the membrane before cooking.
yeah, I've boiled them too---mainly to speed up the process. Traditionalists get sick and mad at the idea, and claim it toughens them up compared to smoking for many hours, and loses flavor. Would like to see a blind taste test with ribs prepared by experts of both methods....
Okay Spooge,
First of all show me one rib contest that you attended in Texas jackass. Secondly, I am speaking solely about PORK ribs. Most rib contests in Texas are BEEF rib cook offs. Secondly, you evidently have no frigging clue about who I am or what I am all about. If I know nothing else at all, I know that you are a completely senseless, mouthy, ass kissing idiot. Demeaning women? Oh and Downs syndrome sufferers? That is all I do? So which one does that make you Sponge? Apparently we have a chromosome that doesn't belong, huh Spongeknob? That doesn't surprise me Corky, I always knew there was something about you that was more than just stupidity. This clears it all up for me. Good luck in the 400 meter this time at the "Olympics" you friggin retard.
