Title: Afternoon Memphis Ribs
Post by: muebe on January 19, 2014, 03:40:59 PM
Got a hankering for some ribs. It has been a while. Picked up two racks from the store...

Time for some Zach's...

Been on for 2 hours...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_140608_zpss9fu8yg5.jpg)

Pulled them and double wrapped in heavy duty foil naked. No honey, no brown sugar, no sauce. Just their natural juices and Zach's rub. Going back on for another hour foiled...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_140850_zpsmiecp7x5.jpg)

After that one rack will be hit with this...

And the other with this...

Stay tuned ;)

That Salt Lick original is my absolute favorite.

After one hour of being foiled I removed the foil and sauced them real good. One with Salt Lick and one with Franklin's...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_150945_zpsazkeboud.jpg)

30 minutes later after the sauce set I pulled them...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_153535_zpsbnypfnwd.jpg)

The Salt Lick ribs were really tender!

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_153633_zpstkiztg9y.jpg)

It appears that the Salt Lick sauce really created a tenderizing effect...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_154936_zpspveb552l.jpg)

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_154928_zpshje8ysii.jpg)

The Franklin's were tender but firm. The way I like my ribs...

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_154835_zpsulinevh3.jpg)

(http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx169/muebe/Album%202/20140119_154824_zpsnuxnscwo.jpg)

I was surprised that there was such a tenderizing effect from the Salt Lick! Both racks were seasoned and cooked exactly the same except for being sauced differently the last 30 minutes.

I really liked the flavor of both sauces but prefer the way the Franklin's ribs turned out. Seems like the Salt Lick should be applied at the very end IMHO otherwise you might end up with mushy ribs like I did!

Oh and the Zach's made for a great flavor profile! I have used the Zach's before and really like it ;)

Interesting thought on the Salt Lick. I have only ever had it on pulled pork, where the tenderness would not be an issue.

Ribs look excellent!

Is there a tenderizer in the Salt Lick Sauce?

Both ribs look like more to me  8)

The third ingredient in the Salt Lick Sauce is Vinegar and the fourth is Mustard and then Wooster! ???

No wonder it is a good tenderizer  :P

I'm with you Mike, I like a pull with the ribs. Wonder if there is a connection between Salt Lick and tendarub?  ??? ???
