NOTE: Ribs should be always kept in the refrigerator (approx. 40 F/4.4 C) before preparation. 1  Take the meat out of the refrigerator. 2  Rinse in cold water. 3  Remove any excess fat and extraneous meat pieces, or stuff you don't want to eat.  Remove the membrane (on inner 1  side). Rinse again, pat dry with a paper towel.
