Easy Way to Pull Membrane from Ribs

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Thought i would share. I always struggle getting membrane off ribs. I picked up these cheap catfish skinners. Just gave a try. Where have these been all my life. So easy!

Paper towel is my normal method. Guess the savings in paper towels could make this worthwhile.

The late great Dave Omak gave a great tip that I use, run warm water over the membrane and it pulls right off. I just use my fingers. It don't take much warm water, basically just a rinse.

Gotta give that a try, makes sense loosening up fat with heat. Always something new to learn.

Also the Paper towel acts like Velcro !

This is a little funny because it goes against the don’t wash your meat crowd. Cross contamination and whatever other reasons. I rinse everything but ground meat for the record.

You should just try and score it and leave it on. That’s what I’ve been doing

If I’m cooking them at a higher temp it works because it will get nice and crispy. If you’re doing 225 then I prefer to peel it off.
