Ribs question: falling off the bone or not? Which is better and why?

I like it as long as it’s tender, cooked all the way through, and not overly fatty. If it’s not falling off the bone, it should still be easy to get the meat off without the use of a knife.

It comes off the bone using your teeth easily and is very tender but doesn’t fall off.”
And, unlike meat that falls off the bone it’s very juicy. Maybe fall off the bone means overcooked. I don’t know.

@Aster The fall-off-the-bone ribs I’ve had were always juicy.

Either way works for me. That’s how much I love BBQ ribs. I especially love Chinese BBQ ribs.

I agree with Tommy Floramo

@cookieman You are evil. I had to check out that menu. My mouth is watering big time.

@Adirondackwannabe: I haven’t been there in a while, but they are super yummy.

@Pachy mine are Chinese ribs. Teriyaki sauce, garlic, honey, cayenne , brown sugar and a second type of thick teriyaki sauce we put on steaks.

@Aster: Stop talking dirty.

Fall of the bone, then if I want to use a fork to keep my fingers clean, I can do it quite easily.

@Hypocrisy_Central Surely a washcloth would be better suited to such a task!

^ Then you have to figure out where to put the damp clothes until you need it and what to do with it when overwealmed with BBQ sauce.

I just had some microwaved side rib… it was gross. too hard and chewy… I prefer fall off the bone and can eat in a stew with potatoes and beef stock.

@Aster Those sound amazing. I like them falling off the bone, but on the bone and tender works too. I think you’ve inspired me to make some teraki ribs tomorrow night.

Put them on foil. If you put them on that baking paper the sugar turns black and smokes. Let me know how they come out !
