I have always had trouble removing the membrane from my spares. Usually have to fight it little pieces at a time. Someone suggested that if you do it after somoking them it peels right off. Anyone tried this?
Yep , ppr towels and a butter knife , or spoon to get things started and help around the stickey spots , It's easier if you trim the spares first ,but either way I like to get that membrane off before I cook 'em
Ps. There are two ' ish membranes
The top one should come off in one piece or close to it , looks like a solid peice of film over the bones. Some butchers do remove it before packaging
, the second one ( usually comes off in pieces ) does not need to be removed as it just cooks away to nothing
About 4:45 into this vid showes membrane removal . You do not need to cut them up if you don't want to , just showing how the membrane should come off. Hope this helps
