About this cut
What it is and how to use it
Riblets are short sections of pork ribs, often cut from the ends of spare ribs or from loin ribs. They are fatty and flavorful with a lot of cartilage near the bone, and they are often sold in smaller portions. They braise or smoke well and are good for appetizers, soups, and barbecue plates. Rib tips are similar and are usually trimmed from St. Louis-style racks.
Cook’s tipBraise or smoke until tender and sauce at the end. They are safe at 145°F, but tenderize with longer cooking.
