Till they pass the bend test!
Am I doing this right? :mrgreen:
Hehe :becky:. I like you :clap2:.
Pretty good. You just have to be a little more condescending in the fact that they had to ask doesn't really even warrant a reply from those "in the know" :clap:. But keeping it short to "Till they past the bend test!" with no further explanation was perfect. I always feel a "nuff said" only enhances it more :laugh:.
I trim and Eat the tips as a snack and a cooks treat while the ribs cook.
Not a BBQ use....but I generally cut that section off the spares and save it for when I'm making meatballs and gravy. Brown the rib tips in olive oil and let them simmer in tomato sauce. Really adds some porkaliciousness to a pot of meatballs and gravy!
Here's another vote for rib tips. I think tips might be a "Northern thing". I know when I talk to my son who has lived in Atlanta for 8 years, he says a lot of the "Q" restaurants he's been to in town don't even sell rib tips. Also just going by the comments I've seen from Southern members in this forum and other forums, it seems like rib tips are considered scraps by many.
Here in my city, many of the BBQ restaurants sell orders of large tips, small tips, and rib tip dinners. And it's not unusual for a restaurant to sell out of rib tips before regular ribs. If I want, I can buy a whole box of frozen rib tips, or prepackaged rib tips in the same case as spare ribs.
There's a place here where I live that sells a "Rib Boat" - it's a paper boat with garlic bread on the bottom, a pound of bbq's tips on top of that, with fries on top of that. The tips are tender, and the fries and garlic bread soak up the bbq saucy goodness. Years ago they were on a main road, but in a really crappy part of town - the kind of place you wouldn't go to in the middle of the night unless you were packing a gun, or a little (or a lot) tipsy. I made many a midnight trek to that place after bar time. Its still one of my favorite carry-out meals.
Anyone have advice on how to cook rib tips? How long do they take? Thanks, it's my first time lol.
