rotuts - I love your defatting method! Thank you. Going to adopt that. I have loads of wide mouth mason-type jars around here. This house has a septic system. Separating out the fat very well from any juices (even if I am not saving the juices) so I can discard it easily before trying to wash the pan is critical, but messy, time consuming and I just don't seem to do it too well and then, because the fat is still quite juicy, it is difficult to discard easily. Can be put in compost here but the (either brown bags or expensive but flimsy 'biodegradable' plastic) compost bags leak if I put really wet 'remains' in there well before pickup day.
Apart from that, your ribs look divine. I am not even a big rib fan but they had me thinking I should be.
