Subject: Re: Removing membrane

What is the quickest way to remove the membrane off pork ribs? This has become a larger task then I thought. What am I doing wrong? Please E-Mail me back.

Much appreciation, Todd Leaf
p.s. great page!

Hi Todd,

Thanks for the compliment.

A pair of catfish skinning pliers gets a pretty good grip on that membrane. But to tell the truth, most of the time, I don't bother to remove it. Most folks can tell the difference when the rib is cooked right.

Have fun,
Smoky
