If you remove the membrane, the ribs might fall apart when you boil them.
Why would anyone boil ribs when we have microwaves these days to cook em in, just gotta baste em more often in the microwave:wink:

Not if you brine & inject them before the microwave.... :wink:Why would anyone boil ribs when we have microwaves these days to cook em in, just gotta baste em more often in the microwave:wink:
Nothing like self contradiction:tape:Theres enough fat in a rib to have it super juicy without the membrane. If you need to keep the membrane on the get a juicy product your doing it wrong.
I diThat being said when I was vending this summer cooking 200-400 racks a day we left the membrane on. That would have taken for ever to remove. dnt really mind the end product either. But you definetly miss out on rub on both sides. I start my ribs meat side up, and when the bark starts to form and rub cooked on I flip until done. I don't rake any fat out after the membrane is removed so when I do flip it makes a little juice pool which I spread around every 30 mins.

Remove. I heard of a well known BBQ restaurant that leaves the membrane on while smoking, then moves the ribs over a char-broiler to burn off the remaining membrane. Never tried it at home.
