Yesterday I whipped up a couple racks of ribs and I was wondering what the sour orange would do in the vac tumbler with them. And the answer is to much. It tossed the flavor off , every last one got eaten but... I wont be doing that again. I got inspired by the butter milk guy. Ill have to go look how they turned out.

Yea one thing I found with ribs is, they can get overpowered with rub, & sauce.

I imagine vac tumbling would just multiply the problem.

It happens. I've made the mistake of oversalting a couple of times. Ribs can be unforgiving.
