My task, as your principal instructor in pathology, will be to teach you (1) the common ways the body fails, (2) the common ways the body responds to injury, (3) the common diseases, and (4) how to reason about disease. Pathology's contribution to your grade-point average and licensure exam score is important.
Loin Back Ribs: This is the popular cut that is from the part of the ribs towards the piggyâs back (the top of the rib cage closest the loin of the pig). Baby Back Ribs: Baby Back Ribs are just loin back ribs that are from smaller market weight hogs, rather than sows. I have heard some suggest that only slabs less than 1 3/4 lbs are baby backs. Whatevs. Spare Ribs: Spare ribs are closer to the belly (mmm, pork belly).
Allow 5 to 6 hours for St. Louis Cut ribs and spare ribs, or 3 to 4 hours for baby back ribs. The exact time will depend on how thick the slabs are and how steady you have kept the temp. If you use rib holders so they are crammed close to each other, add another hour. Then check to see if they are ready.he best advice I will ever give you: Develop a relationship with your butcher. On spareribs, the amount of meat is determined by nature, all you get is the meat that is on the hog. But because the baby back ribs are cut from the loin meat, the amount of meat on the baby backs is determined by your butcher.
