Kevin's Rib Rub - For Kevin

Kevin,

I know you pre-salt ribs prior to rubbing. Would a ballpark be around 1 TBL per rack or less based on a normal sized rack of backs. I've tried this before but I feel I'm undersalting the racks.

Thanks.

If you feel you are undersalting then simply salt more.

I don't really know the amount. It depends on rib rack size. It's probably ~2 t to 5 or 6 t total, again, depending on size. I start the ribs meat side down, sprinkle salt on the bone side, flip then repeat on the meat side. The amount is equivalent to how much I would use were the ribs served to me already cooked but unsalted. The difference is, with that image in mind, that I then salt both sides.

Thanks Kevin. I did a few racks last night and they came out really nice. I took a few tablespoons of the rub and ground it down to powder and sprinkled it on after saucing just before serving. I think it added an extra punch but I should have dusted one rack and not the other to test properly.
