If you have experience cooking a brisket, you’ll be familiar with this method. Many pit masters will use what’s called the toothpick test. A slab of ribs that’s ready cracks easily between the bones and almost breaks in two. If there is no separation or cracking between the ribs, they’re not ready. Simply pick up the slab and give it a slight bend towards a U shape. The bend test is done by using a pair of tongs or gloves and requires slightly more time than quickly peeking at the bones but it’s not difficult. It’s not foolproof by any stretch, but it is an easy visual cue that doesn’t take long, requiring only a glance.Īnother method is to bend the slab of ribs. That’s usually a pretty good indication that the ribs are about ready. You’ll see about a quarter inch of the bones (referred to as pull back) start to peek out all along the slab, or portions of it. The most popular method is looking for the bones to start peeking out. Worry not though, there is a 100% accurate way to determine if your pork ribs are done, and I’ll explain that in detail. Some of these work better than others, but non of them are 100% accurate.
