I think you did a great job on those ribs. Those looked like the whole racks of beef back ribs that come in cryo packs. Ya, it' seems like the only meat they leave on are between the bones. Regardless, you did as good as anyone could do with them and the racks you prepared I'm sure were tasty. They do sell them already split in cryo packs, and as I seen them, they seemed as if they had more meat on them [although not as much as freshly cut off a prime rib]. The one's I seen that were split were from a different producer than the one's that come in whole racks. If you can find them already cut from a prime rib where you shop, that is the way to go, but you don't see that too often. Great Job!!! Reinhard
