Non Footy Chat Thread II

Any experts in pork spare ribs wanna tell me how best to do them? These are the ones without bones, which seem to be 90% fat and skin. Seems like a 12 hour job.

That sounds like pork belly......

Maybe they're from up the thicker end.

Either 'low and slow', or give em a blast at 220g, then drop to 140-150degrees and cook till their ready.

If it is just pork belly, you can boil them for a short while, then dry with kitchen paper, add seasoning and shove back in the oven at a random temperature, for about the duration of a footy game.

Not an expert but did this a while back.

Remove the skin and fat but you have to start off with a decent slab of meat, if its a fatty chunk of meat I agree it will be shit.

Just basically put your sauce and spices on, cook it slow for 3 or 4 hours and its f**king great.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was pork belly. I cooked it at 180 for about 2 1/2 hours and they looked great. But even though they cooked off about a cup of fat, they were still far too fatty for my taste. And the skin was too chewy. Will know for next time I guess.

Yep, that's pretty much how it should look when finished.
You need to turn the temp up as high as possible for the last 10-15 minutes to get the crackle to crisp up., or alternatively, put it under the griller.

Try as I might, and I've tried a few times, I'm always left disappointed with ribs when it comes to the eating. They look delicious and I've cooked them to all recommendations but they just don't do it for me.

Much rather a rack of pork loin cutlets, crackling on the outside... Love cooking those in the Weber. Heaven!

It is not bad. 27 holes, tight fairways, reasonable greens and interesting layout. It also has great members which is why I continue to play there despite being approx. 30 min away. Nothing worse than a crusty welded on old merkin of a member who thinks he runs the joint.

John Senden and the Senior boys played all of their golf at Keperra and Scott and Mark Draper are long time members. Scott is off +4.

Good stuff, haven't had a hit in ages. Had a hit at North Lakes a little while ago the first 9 wasn't pretty but an arsey birdie and a few pars saved the round.

North Lakes is a pretty tough course (particularly from the back tees). Haven't played there for a couple of years but always enjoy the challenge.
