TendaRub

[Ka Honu]

From the Tenda Rub website: "... he heard a voice that whispered the name of an ingredient.  Immediately, he knew that it was the voice of the Lord, and that it was the missing ingredient for the chicken recipe."

Call me a heathen but I absolutely refuse to try a product whose developer claims God (yes, that God - the old Jewish guy who looks like George Burns and spells his name with a really big capital "G") whispered the name of the secret key ingredient in his ear.  I may have been born at night but it wasn't last night.

God likes good chicken

I would guess vinegar is heavily involved too. When my little smoker was down I started using this method from BBQ Pit Boys to get some pretty good 2 hour ribs. They use cider vinegar to tenderize the ribs and help the spices get down into the meat. The first time I did this I did two rack of baby backs, one using the cider vinegar and rub and one with CYM and rub. The vinegar ones did get more tender and had a "sweet" taste I was not used to but wasn't unpleasant. I am not a fan of fall off the bone ribs anyway, but they were tender and juicy.

I didn't just fall off the turnip truck either Turtle. I will pass on this rub, and I hardly ever pass up a chance to try a new rub but I can't do this one.........not after reading that hogwash...........

for the record...contains NO MSG!!

What IS that secret ingredient?

[muebe]

I just watched the entire video and he burned those poor racks of ribs. Some of the people tasting them asked what kind meat the ribs were. If you have to ask what kind of meat they are than you are not a good judge of ribs IMHO.

He did not need to remove the silver skin because he burned it off. I think anyone can grill ribs in an hour over coals as hot as those were.

Says there is a patent pending on the jar. I wonder what ingredient he has in it that requires a patent?

I know that God loves us and meets our needs.  This man was on the brink of financial collaspe.  Why wouldn't God answer his prayers?

What's not to like, just look at what he says. Bahahahahaha!












All this and you'll have championship quality ribs.

Only the Lord knows for sure Jaxon...

I wonder if they have a rub that will make a 1 hour brisket??  Hogwash...

Ed Mitchell, formerly associated with The Pit in Raleigh, NC, did a Rib Throwdown with Bobby Flay and cooked his ribs in one hour. No TendaRub required.

[TentHunteR]

1 hour to cook the ribs and 4 hours to burn off all the lighter fluid he used... sheesh!

I know, that made me cringe before he even got to the meat & Tenda Rub in the video.  YUCK and DOUBLE YUCK!!!!

I agree wholeheartedly!  Part of the flavor profile for me is the gentle application of smoke, and that just can't be rushed at a high temp.

...I was very surprised to discover in my research that MSG is a natural substance...

...in a discussion recently with Cliff (Tenthunter) he has learned a lot from some food allergies - that could benefit all of us.

I don't want to get off topic on this thread, so I'll do a writeup about MSG and it's makeup, etc. in a thread/section that focuses specifically on that subject that can hopefully shed a little light.


As far as how it relates to the Tenda Rub discussion -  I can tell you that MSG is not an effective tenderizer, as it can only tenderize to the extent that salt (sodium chloride) can. Tenda Rub must be using other tenderizing ingredients.

The only other natural tenderizer I'm aware of is acetic acid (which creates the powerful sourness of vinegar)

Acetic Acid is one. Here are a few other natural tenderizers commonly used in marinades: Pineapple & Papaya - contain Bromelain & Papain enzymes (respectively), Citrus juices contain Citric acid, Wine contains natural phosphates.  Yogurt & buttermilk are rich in natural phosphates and lactic acid which can also tenderize.
 


I would love to see an actual ingredient list for Tenda Rub posted on their website for allergen info.
