Selecting the right ribs is essential for achieving optimal tenderness and flavor. Extra-tender Farmland ribs are processed in a water, salt, and phosphate solution that helps retain moistureābut proper handling is key.
Because these ribs continue to brine while sitting in their solution, itās important to choose packages that have been freshly stocked in the case. Avoid racks that feel overly soft or limp, as this may indicate they have been thawed too long. For best results, keep the ribs frozen until needed rather than allowing them to remain in the saline solution for extended periods. Proper selection and storage ensure the ribs maintain ideal texture and quality before cooking.
