Hi, I cooked some spare ribs this weekend. I was a bit dissappointed that they were a bit too fatty for my liking. They we're cooked enough (falling off the bone) but still had a bit too much gooey fat under some of the meat. I've had good results in the past with spares. Do you think it was the 1)ribs (a bit too fatty) 2)not dooed enough-- cook them more, say 7-8 hours, or 3)I need to cook them more outside the foil for the fat to render out?
I cooked them about 6 hours using the 3-2-1 method modified to the 3-2.5-1 method. I inadvertantly left them foiled for 2 1/2 hours as I was riding my bike and lost track of time.
I had them from a cyrovac pack I cut up a month ago into St. Louis style. I trimmed off all the visible fat when I cut them up but there still seemed to be a lot of fat under some of the meat.
