Whats the difference between spare ribs and baby back ribs?
Baby back ribs are from the back loin. The bones are smaller in width and length. Look for slabs that are about 2 pounds, lean and meaty. If the bone is exposed, the cutters are shaving too much meat off. With ribs, the majority of the meat is in between the bones, but it’s nice to have it around the whole portion of the rib.
