Baby back ribs

[JulesMaximus]

I am making ribs on Sunday and usually I do a rub and let them sit overnight. Would they be any better if I let them sit for 2 days before cooking?

A single day is fine, re-rub them before you cook them.

Make sure you prep the ribs by removing that tough membrane - that's not good eats.

I was thinking of putting the rub on them today.

I wouldn't. It will draw out too much moisture.

Will do. Thanks for the tip.

I would personally put the rub on a few hours before you grill/cook them. that is all you really need.

Whenever I do ribs I almost always allow them to sit overnight prior to cooking them. This has always yielded excellent results.

Correct, you should always do overnight if you can. A few hours won't let the rub really get into the meat and add it's flavor.

I normally wrap mine in plastic wrap to prevent moisture loss. And don't just sprinkle the rub on, really work it into the meat.

Overnight works best. When Fallenhero and I made ribs back in our college days we let it sit overnight wrapped in aluminum foil. Came out great!

Aye, there's the rub...

ever since learning to boil the ribs in a salted solution and then rubbing + sauce + grill, I've not felt the need to marinate them overnight.

Boil?

yeah, it sounds so wrong but the end product is really tender.

FAIL.

Ribs are to be smoked for about 4-5 hours for baby backs.

usually excellence is a closed arena to those saying excellent.

rubs are more immediate...soaking a meat more overnight.

it's really hard to explain without seeing the set up though.

I cook sometimes with a complicated marinade that sits two days. Sometimes I just throw on seasoning and cook it up.

it's never bad.
