1 bad rack in a 3 pack?

[flbentrider]

I did some baby back ribs today.

Date on package was OK, no leaks, etc. they passed the "sniff test" - I just sniffed where I opened it.

Rubbed them up, did 3 hours @250F.

I noted that one rack was nearly falling apart, but the other 2 were as expected.

Foiled for an hour with Brown Sugar, white wine, honey, butter...

Upon slicing, the first rack was perfect, just a little tug.

The second rack, however, was un-slicable. literaly falling apart. Strange. Then I caught a wiff of "bad pork" - Seriously?

Ok - triage time - closely inspected, sniffed and tasted the first rack, all seems ok...

Took out the third rack, it was "a little tug" too.

Hmm... decisions, decisions....

We may regret it, but we ate the two racks, as we really did not feel like going out.

Anyone else ever experience this?

I haven't had that bad experience ----- yet.  Thanks for the warning, and I sure hope the ones you ate were okay.

normally in 3 packs they should all be good.  sometimes the meat is a different texture from one rack to the others.

Never experienced that before. Was the package expanded? Was it in between the good racks?

[flbentrider]

Package was good - we steer clear of any "inflated" packaging.

I don't remember the order they came out of the package.

I had a two pack go bad on me that I left in the fridge for about 3 days. The bag inflated on me. Tossed them right away.
They were never left out. Straight from store to my fridge.

That really is odd Randy. You would think the bad rack would have turned the other two bad as well. Hope the ones you ate cause no ill effects.

So far no "gastrointestinal distress"

Hope all is OK.

Agree, kind of like a bad apple
