What ribs to use for Halloween ribs
This recipe calls for a rack of pork back ribs. If you’re not familiar with cooking racks of ribs, you might be wondering if there are different types, and what to select. Here are some things to keep in mind: I’ve made this dinner a few times for my family before we head out trick-or-treating. I like that it cooks itself, which gives me time to help my daughter get ready for the big night. The orange and black colors are totally on point, and ribs are naturally a little spooky/creepy – it’s the perfect Halloween dinner! Six reasons why I make Halloween ribs every year: In other words, they’re the perfect fall dinner recipe. Happy Halloween!
Names: Pork back ribs are also known by other names, such as baby back ribs, pork loin back ribs, or loin ribs. All these different names refer to identical cuts of meat. The cut: I like using pork back ribs as they’re meatier than other types, like spare ribs or short ribs. Pork back ribs come from the upper part of the pig’s ribcage. What to look for: Clean, trimmed ribs should have a good layer of meat on top. Some ribs will have a thin membrane on the bone side, which you can simply peel away. Where to buy them: You can usually find ribs in the meat section of your grocery store. Otherwise, head to your local butcher.
