BBQ Rib Comparison: Spare vs. St. Louis vs. Baby Back | Trim, Cooking Tips, and Taste Test
What happens when you cook 3 different types of ribs the same way? This question plagued me, so I figured I’d take you on my journey to cook Ribs 3 Ways. For this experiment, I treated each rack of ribs the same way. With no variables, I had an accurate assessment of whether cooking different types of ribs really changes the cooking time and process. I trimmed the ribs similarly, then topped them with two of my bestselling rubs.
Whether you prefer hearty St. Louis ribs, leaner Baby Backs, or juicy Spare Ribs, you’re in for a treat. With this simple process, any rack of ribs can be turned into a masterpiece.

      @marcgarrett5427 18 годин тому

      @HeathRilesBBQ I understand that. I was referring more to people choosing St Louis cut over spare ribs. It might be more visually appealing to some, but I've found the slabs are often the same price at BBQ joints that offer both. Taste and quality being equal, for my money and for backyard BBQ, I'm going spare ribs. But, to each their own. Very nice job on all 3 racks.
