Rib crutch

[Al S.]

I’m hanging 3 bb racks that I cut in half, and will crutch them after ~3 hours. Has anyone tried just putting them all in a sealed foil pan with some liquid, rather than wrapping them individually?

That is what I do if the wibs come off early. Foil pan, a little apple juice, cover in foil and put in warm oven.

Same result as individual wrapping?

[HawkerXP]

Never did individual wrapping. Usually do 3 full racks ay one time.

The fun of BBQ is trying different techniques.
Let us know how it works for you and your opinion.

IMO it should work. When you wrap your basically steaming/braising to get them tender so you’ll be doing the same thing this way so yea should work

Thanks, everyone, it worked beautifully. May have worked a bit faster than wrapping each rack, since they were falling off the bone to the point I could barely lift them from the pan without them falling apart!
