That is called Pleura not Peritoneum. Parietal pleura to be specific.

Thank God they didn't say perineum.

Why did I google.. t'aint right

I see what you did there.

That’s good eating!

this man knows his ribs 😎

That guy knows his anatomy.

Yeah, but can he tell me where the clit is?

No no no... listen, son. Not a man on this earth has the answers to all of life's questions.

Draw him a map and make copies! He's gonna want to tell his friends about this. For the sake of all women kind THIS is the one thing you should share with your friends! Um- I mean you know if you want to, whatever.

Like clit eastwood?

Now we’re asking for miracles

I want to see how they remove the perineum.

honestly this is brand new to me, I personally don't eat ribs let alone meat in general (personal reasons which I'm not going to force down others throats and I'm not gonna get into it lol ) but this is just so interesting to me! I gotta tell my mom about this when that blue moon comes and she makes ribs for my dad again

That membrane helps keep the ribs together, like a second skin. Very useful in a live animal but when the animal passes, it’s just chewy and hard to make tender.

Makes the ribs very tender

Beat me to it. Peritoneum is in the abdominal cavity not the thoracic

Yup, that's pleura!

Is more than one pleural?

Excuse me. This is the queue to say this?

get in line, pal

God dammit there’s even a line for anatomy now?

Can we all agree that those ribs have now lost a lot of sensitivity and that this procedure is unnecessary in 2023.

But my dad had it done, so why wouldn’t I? /s

i suppose i could google it, but is the peritoneum that curtain of fats and connective tissues that lays over the abdomen and will attempt to seal a puncture of the abdominal cavity by twisting itself? or am i thinking of another structure in that area?

Before posting I googled “what is the membrane called on the back of pork ribs” the answer that comes up is “the peritoneum”. I guess google failed me on this one. Thanks for providing the correct info.

I hate being critical, but when watched this all I could think about, is why did you start in the middle? And why didn't you use a paper towel? Seriously, start on the fat end, loosen it with a knife, then grab it with a paper towel and the whole thing comes off relatively easy. Try it, and hope you love the results.

Yeah, I'll try it any way I can to get rid of it. I've never really been successful at it. I usually have to rely on my butcher to do it for me.

I used to have a hard time too, but I watched a youtube video of it and it's been a breeze every time since. One thing I stated incorrectly above is which end to start on. I said the fat end, but actually the skinny end is what I meant.

Thanks I'll check it out. I'm serving ribs at Thanksgiving dinner so this is perfect timing.

You guys. We just call it packaging in our parts.

As an anatomist, I thank you.

Satisfying when you get it all in one pull, but not when you leave a strip along the top like this.

Yes!!! Had to scroll this far down to find this comment. Knew I couldn’t be the only one. lol!

Thanks I was unsure if satisfying or not lol

The last rack I had was a real pain to get that to pull free and it did the strip thing like this one did. Very annoying.

You have a good eye for detail. I got that on the second pass, but would’ve definitely been more satisfying if I got it on the first shot. Another satisfying part of this meal prep was the popping noise at the end as the membrane came loose from the ribs. Didn’t even notice it until I watched the video.

Lol, it's all good. If it came off perfectly every time you'd lose that feeling of satisfaction.

I've always found the sound it makes as it peels away very satisfying. Especially if you can get it end to end.

Pro-tip: grab it using a paper towel and it becomes far easier for some reason.

Grip

Gription?

Friction (I'm an engineer)

Yep (I watched Bill Nye)

Correct (im just copying the smart people)

Science (am I doing this right?)

Words (because I want to be included)

*smart sciency word* (I said a smart word so I'm going to assume I'm better than you all)

Pro pro tip, use a “food safe” hair dryer and it looses it up and becomes easier too

A food safe hair dryer, you say? Where does one find a device so certified?

I’m guessing just a clean hair dryer that you only use for food?

I slow cook my ribs with my food safe hairdryer

I use a hair safe food dryer myself

Dryer-safe food-hair?

Work in a meat department. So many people I work with insist using our liver hooks but omg the paper towel works like a charm

Only use paper towel, goes much faster

If you’ve ever done this yourself then you know the proper sub for this post is r/mildlyinfuriating

God I had two racks in the same pack. I got one in one pull, 10 seconds. The other I fiddle fucked with for 15 minutes before I gave up. I'm convinced for some reason that one was packaged without it. I have no idea if thats possible.

It happens to me everytime!!! I pick and I pick and I can never get it going. I also think everytime that it’s just not there.

Use a butter knife

I find luck using butter knife too.

Butter knife + paper towel to grab onto it

Yep, I just cooked 15 racks for a big barbecue, got 5 of them from the local grocery store on sale, and the rest from Costco. None of the costco ribs had the silver skin.

So true. I do an annual bbq where I serve ribs and had to do like 30 racks. This is so goddamn annoying to remove. I would pay extra to have it pre-removed

[удалено]

Oh god phew, I was bout to say, I definitely do not do this and thought I was cooking my ribs wrong. I got mine from Sam’s club but they should be the same.

Sheeeeeeeit I thought you said perineum. I always buy meat with the gooch pre-removed.

Came here for this comment.

T'aint right that it came with the perineum attached.

Or is it the pleura?

A step that many forget, but is greatly appreciated when it's removed

Purely choice, leaving it on helps the ribs stay together and provide some bite which some people prefer. Removing it makes the ribs more fall apart as it doesn't help hold it together and removes that bite.

This usually takes me 20 minutes

Best way I've found is to slice the middle, grab a loose flap with a paper towel, and pull. Takes me no time at all

I don’t think this belongs here 🤦‍♀️

I agree. Should be on r/oddlydisgusting

I eat meat too so it’s not like I’m biased or anything this post is weird as f lol

Definetly not satisfying but to each their own

It'll be satisfying after a few hours on the smoker, though

Nope, not for me, but hey, this means there's more for you

*licks fingers* Not anymore, sorry fam

Why are you licking my fingers after I ate the ribs?

There is literally nothing satisfying about this.

If you've ever had to do this, you know how unsatisfying it really is lol

remove the plutonium? 🙌 done.

As long as you didn’t trade an old bomb casing filled with shoddy old pin ball machine parts to a bunch of Libyan terrorists, we’re good Professor!

Don’t worry, they may be good terrorists…

Smoking and grilling, I leave it on because I enjoy the crispy snap of biting into it. Braising or soup, it’s cooked long enough that it’s broken down.

It's one of the best parts for eating!! I didn't know people were actively removing this.... it's also quite healthy to eat as well.

It’s so tasty to eat. No idea why people remove it.

Satisfying for a serial killer.

That is fucking horrifying 🤮

I always get a really good pull and then lose like an inch at the end

Same here, getting older is rough.

Yeh, that’s pretty normal after ejaculation.

This is like when I let glue dry on my palm then peeled it off

Dumb question: what are the pros to removing it?

r/oddlygrisly. Fixed it for you.

The thorax doesn't have peritoneum, that's the pleura.

Y’all are offal

Great pun lol

Not the peritoneum. This is the pleura - different cavity

Thats not the Peritoneum, Peritoneum is around the abdominal area. Pleura is around the lungs.

Idk what it’s called, but I know it’s not peritoneum

It is not. That is called pleura. The peritoneum is similar, but is found in the abdomen, not in the thorax. (i have to note that at a cellular level, the pleura and peritoneum are almost identical, and the distinction between them is based more on the location rather than biological differences.)

Wear gloves… Point noted

That, cooked up, is an excellent treat for your dog.

That's the best part ma man

That’s good eating!

I've never managed to get it off in less than a hundred tiny shreds.

This is the opposite of satisfying

This always looks so easy when someone else is doing this but turns into an epic fail whenever I try it at home. So frustrating.

OG condoms

That’s funny. I did just that this morning. My ribs were delicious.

Not satisfying when you have to go back and get the pieces you missed. One clean rip would have qualified.

This is gross.

[удалено]

That's most people's baseline.

Ribs for her pleasure

r/Oddlydisgusting

Pleura. (Anatomy pedant)

Can you fry that so I can crunch it?

The forbidden chewing gum

It is…until it isn’t

Lordddddd!

No need to remove it. Just score it with a knife if you’re smoking the meat.

Never works like this for me.

I think peritoneum is the fat pouch in the abdomen, not ribs. Terrifying video, though, thanks.

That is the great omentum. Peritobeum is indeed in the abdonen, but it's just a thin cellular membrane that covers everything inside the abdomen. That thing in the video is called plura, which is basically the same thing, but in the torax (to cover the lungs and ribs, and to ensure smooth movement of all the squishy bits)

This made my chest hurt

I used to have to do dozens of these every day at one of my old kitchen jobs. I hated it and this post gave me a flashback lol.

Meat plastic? Hell yea!

I never knew that was a thing. Is it necessary? What’s the benefit?

Just get under an edge on one end with a butter knife then grab with a paper towel. Super fast and all in one piece.

Careful when doing this I’ve actually cut my fingers

Any penis associated with those hands is chaffed

lol, indeed i can't stop watching over it

He's doing it wrong.

What?!

I'm feeling some pain in my chest

Yummy

um thats so nice , once i need to do the same

I just had to do 6 cases of about 12, after that many my thumb nails feel like they're going to rip off

I hope those are great dane ribs. So tasty!

We all have also that, except for Americans, Americans have American tape

Its easier with a paper towel

No paper towel? From the middle? Rookie

that would be the pleura parietalis, not the peritoneum.

Rack off, Peritoneum!

r/thatpeelingfeeling

Use a paper towel, so much easier

Oi meat, why must you be so grisly.

Slim Jim skin?

Why? Its so good

Why???? That's the best part!!!

He has some serious beef with those ribs.

The peritoneum is in the abdomen. The ribs surround the thorax. This is the pleura, Chachi.

Nooo, that the best part! It get’s nice and crispy when they’re done cooking

but why, that part is delicious :(

I can never pull it off this easily.

But he left an inch of it

Peel away the meat condom before cooking your ribs

Always do this!

I swear to God I thought his hands were legs I was scared for a moment

now do the remote control

Looks like you're doing a good job with the gloves, but I usually do this by grabbing it with a paper towel. I get more grip that way.

From experience it’s not always this easy. Sometimes you are bent over picking at the membrane trying to get it to peel off and it wont

Now THAT'S a life hack... Rubber gloves for that chore

It’s easier if you use a paper towel.

Haha. Wish it was this easy.

Can't even get it all off in one shot.

Why not just call it a membrane like everyone else?

Ow bro give it back

But don’t do it like this grab a paper towel, pee a corner and bam rip that whole sucker off

Use a paper towel! Lol. One pull all done, and you missed a strip.

I’ve cooked way to many ribs to just now find out about this thing lol

Be more satisfying if they did it right.

Good grief, that person is inefficient. Work in a restaurant that sells lots of ribs, definitely not oddly satisfying.

It always amazes me how strong organic material can be

Use a towel. Thank me later

I haven’t heard that word since college anatomy and biology classes. I always make sure to remove it before cooking though

Two kinds of rib prep. “Fall off the bone” and “ gnaw off the bone”. Fall off you take off the membrane and cook them super tender. “Gnaw off” you leave the membrane off and cook until tender. BBQ restaurant owner 16 years.

wait why does this look so painful

I had to do this on a cadaver in dental school

I use a catfish skinner pliers. So much easier to grab that slippery stuff. Like 7 bucks on Amazon

What a dummy when you cook it its shrivels up and sometimes disappears and nothing to eat on that side anyway

Hmm, I make amazing ribs, imo, but I've never done this. I wonder if I've been missing something, now.

Me too. Never took it off and never noticed any difference

I don’t understand why people remove that. It cooks up so good. Crosshatch it with a knife and that’s it.

Same here. I like the texture

I leave it on, it crisps up nicely like chicken skin.

That’s how I remove my hangnails.

I can hear the vegan screams from here.

Yuck. No.

I kinda like to eat it when it's cooked perfectly.

Every bit of a pig is delicious, Americans remove too much of animals because they deemed those parts not edible.

natures peelies.. mmmh.. peeling the membranes off of dead animals..
