What makes it different
Why 'baby'
Nothing to do with the age of the animal. They are the ribs closest to the backbone and they are shorter than spare ribs. That is the whole of what the name means.
Leaner than spares
They come off the loin, so there is less fat between the bones. More tender, but less forgiving — they finish sooner and they dry out sooner.
Faster than you think
A rack of spares wants five or six hours. These are usually done in four, and checking early costs you nothing.
The best doneness test here is not a number. Pick the rack up in the middle with tongs — when it bends far enough that the surface cracks, they are ready.
FROM THE FARM
We raise our hogs on pasture here in Monticello, Kentucky, and have every animal cut at a USDA-inspected plant down the road. We raise them, we have them cut, and we pack what comes back ourselves.
How to cook them
1
Pull the membrane off the bone side. A paper towel gives you the grip to start it.
2
Rub them and put them on at 250°F, bone side down.
3
Two to three hours uncovered, then wrap and keep going. Pull at 195 to 203°F, or when the rack bends and cracks.
4
Sauce them in the last fifteen minutes with the wrap open. Sugar burns long before ribs are done.
What you're getting
One rack of baby back ribs.
Cut from the loin — shorter and leaner than spare ribs.
Raised on our farm in Monticello, Kentucky, and cut at a USDA-inspected plant.
Weights are averages. Every package is cut by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
