I think the best aspect of this is just the braising liquid and the low-slow method. Use your own rub, ignore the whole ratio of sugar-salt-other....

I too found the first time I did it by the recipe Alton uses here, incredibly salty. Now I've done them about four times and everyone in the family loves them.

I've even done the final stage on the outdoor grill for an extra smokey dimension.

Happy Cooking.

@TerryOS Were you using KOSHER Salt?? and mind you, you don't put the WHOLE Jar on the ribs!! You make a BIG batch and save the rest for later!!! I've made this recipe for 5 years now and NEVER has it been too salty...

Tried it, and it turned out amazing! This is one recipe I will be using to impress my dinner guests. -S

I have been using this recipe and method since I first saw this episode a few years back and its the best. The only things I changed was I add Apple Juice to the liquid part, and I remove the membrane.

@SailorPerson and if u heard him right he said to the membrane side that it doesn't matter much *bcuz it's the membrane* 

[SailorPerson]

well this episode is pretty damn old so stop complaining he's probably changed it by now :P

[YourFavoriteAries]

It's very weird seeing his show without all the bells and whistles...

Also I wonder if those ribs were actually hot or if he is just a great actor. XD

Kosher salt is coarser than table salt. Different brands vary some, but as a general rule of thumb, if you have 3 cups of kosher salt, that's equal to 1 and 1/2 cups table salt.

I think a lot of people complaining here substituted table salt for the kosher salt Alton called for, without making the necessary adjustment. As a result, they used twice as much salt as the recipe called for.

Great ribs!! Try em!

omg if you people are such experts then why don't you have your own cooking show and be a host on iron chef fukkin tards!

There is no point in wasting rub on the bone side if you're not going to remove the membrane which, by the way, takes all of 1 minute to do. The membrane is like an impenetrable rubber sheet that no flavor, wet or dry, will make it through. Not to mention that it's no fun to eat and can have a gamey flavor of its own. I like Good Eats but c'mon Alton, you've gotta know better than that!

He didn't forget. The membrane doesn't need to come off really.
