Ribs

[hparrott]

For those processing their own meat, what type of saw blade do you prefer for cutting racks of ribs? I usually just end up cutting the meat out between the ribs because of the bone splintering or being in the Field. Please and thanks! 27 days until spring bear

That works the best.

I just use a clean hacksaw with 18tpi blade. Works just fine.

With the fine blade the bone dust just wipes off easily.

The least amount of bone fragments stayed on the meat when I cut really dry ribs. Then I actually washed the cut ends off in the laundry sink. I eat the ribs from bear, moose and the pig I butchered. Easiest way to cook ribs for me is in the slow cooker then a 1/2 hour in the oven well coated with sauce. Now I'm hungry!
The blade I find works best was a course one that made larger chunks of bone. You can then see them easier. And it cut faster.

I like to boil them first then roast them, removes saw dust and hair.

Butchers hand saw works well also. Short Ribs are one of the best cuts of meat on every animal and probably the most overlooked by so many hunters. I coat and braise them in the frying pan and then into the slow cooker for the day. Mouth watering tender and the flavours of the spices and broth used are amazing.

Have the meat cutting band saw, cut all the ribs up into about 4" long as they wrap nice.
