Question:
Which cut of spareribs do you prefer to cook?

Choices:
Whole spareribs
St. Louis-style spareribs

 

Poll seems a bit confusing. I buy whole spareribs if I can find them. But I always trim them to St. Lous style for the cook.

I get them whole. Then butcher it myself. We use the other pieces and call it rib tips. Kids love rib tips.

I always trim to St Louis too, but if I've got a lot of guests I'll sometimes stuff some of the trimmings into the cooker along with the slabs. Enough rub and sauce and they eat just fine.

I buy both ways but if I buy whole spares I always trim down to St. Louis. Aesthetically I like them better, probably the only reason.

If I am cooking for a customer he get what he pays for the whole spare rib, as far as myself I buy whole and trim to "kc" style and have the tips for snacks or sell them.

i like whole. i do a very small amount of trimming.

I like St L style and if Im not too lazy, i like to cut all the meat off that I can and run it through my grinder. Makes great meatloaf, or fatties.
