We've been going light on beef and pork for a while and I have not been
cooking much, so I wanted meeeeeeeat. My favorite has to be these ribs,
deeply browned, then braised in a splash of water with rosemary and coarse
brown pepper until they fall apart. It is fatty meat, but it is one of the
best examples of how good meat is when it is cooked with bone and fat.

It's great as is, or with a drizzle of honey barbecue sauce on a sandwich. I
refrigerate it overnight and remove the creamy white fat from the top,
remove the meat from the bones and solid fat, and freeze the gelled broth
for use in stirfries and stews. Good stuff for $2 a pound, often a buck
fifty on sale. Great with noodles and mushrooms and other vegetables, too.

Sounds good. I did some of those "ribs" on the grill last weekend, with BBQ
sauce. They were braised a little in the oven prior to grilling them. I
cooked the whole package of several pounds and froze some of the ungrilled
pre-cooked pork to use later.

These were on sale here for $1.37 a pound (I think) and we bought a few
packages. Sometimes I just dump the meat in a Corningware casserole, put in
a few smashed cloves of garlic and a whole onion cut in half... and a little
BBQ sauce. Bake at 300 for a couple of hours until tender, remove the meat
and onion, skim off the fat and thicken the sauce with a bit of cornstarch
and maybe more BBQ sauce if needed.

Good, easy meal.

Grilling is the best. They are really Boston Butt sliced, aren't they?

Yes. At least in my area. I still love them properly prepared.

I have to have them browned first. I think it really makes the flavor.

I'll give that a try next time.

The package I bought clearly showed the shape of the meat before they sliced
them into "ribs". They were boneless. I'm not sure what cut of the pork
they are, but they sure are good!

Depends on your market. Here the packages are sometimes marked
"loin," sometimes marked "shoulder" and the "shoulder" can be boneless
or with bones. In any case they are indeed very well suited for
browning and braising. They'll stand up to the widest variety of
simmering sauces, from simple cacciatore-type to spicy Indian to
Mexican moles. -aem

Corningware or Corning Ware? There's a difference. I love my Corning
Ware. I just bought a new (used) china cabinet to house it.

But loin is always lean, isn't it?

Say more about that. I've never heard of it.

It's not anything special, I just don't add much water (my experience is
that a lot of moisture cooks out of the meat, and adding less water then
cooking on a very low heat somehow results in more succulent meat) and crush
dried rosemary, a good tablespoon of it, after I put the water in. Also
coarsely ground pepper, something I bought at the Fresh Market the other
week. It's very flavorful.

Leaner than shoulder or butt. So if the package says "country style
ribs" but also says "loin" I give it a pass. I like the more
flavorful, fattier cut. -aem

Really? I didn't know that.

I see it as CorningWare on their website
http://www.corningware.com/default.asp and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorningWare

I don't know of any other brand called "Corning Ware" but I'm open to learn
new things.
