This board is a treasure-house of experience and wisdom, and we all profit from other people's hard-earned knowledge -- if we remember to act on it. :roll:
The back ribs I got on sale earlier in the week didn't seem quite right throughout the cook. Then as we were eating them, I noticed a salty taste that I didn't put there, and the word "hammy" came to mind. Reading the label -- FINALLY! -- I saw that they were "Self Basting," containing up to 12% solution of pork broth and other stuff. Yep, cured back ribs.
I was planning to give the second rack to the neighbors when they get back from a weekend trip. Not now, I'm not. I'm not even sure I'll eat them myself.
Read the label. If it says anything about added solution, pass.
