Information about Monster Pork Spare Ribs.
These are great on the Barbecue for those times when you have many hungry mouths to feed or simply want Big Thick Pork Belly Ribs. These Monster Rib Racks are approximately 25cm wide & 35cm long, weighing in at a Hefty 2.7 kilos (weights vary as they are a natural cut). They’ll fill your plate, not leaving you or your guests hungry. The Monster Pork Spare Ribs have an even layer of meat covering the rib bones making it easier to achieve a more even cook.
The flavour of our select Pork is simply delicious, & with an excellent meat to fat ratio, the Monster Pork Spare Ribs will be moist & you can taste the meaty flavour, without being overpowered by the fat. The fat will only add to the flavour of the meat… as they say “fat is flavour”. This is definitely a Rack of Pork Ribs that will give great value for money, more meat per pound!
What are Monster Pork Spare Ribs?
The Monster Pork Spare Ribs are Thicker Meaty Ribs cut from the Belly of Pork without the rind or most of the fat.
The Monster Pork Spare Rib Racks are flat with a Generous Layer of juicy Belly Meat on the Bones. The meat is approximately 20 mm thick on the bones, the length of the bones is approx 25 cm & the whole Rack is approx 35 cm. These are easy to cut into portions after Smoking; using a sharp knife, just cut in between the bones & through the soft cartilage bones at the end.
The meat on the Monster Pork Spare Ribs is a little course, this cooks up to be soft, tender & easy to bite when done Low & Slow. The meaty end of the Pork Rib Rack where the bones are shorter is ideal for making Pork Candy Bites like the PBBE Pork Belly Burnt Ends. The Pork Spare Ribs have good meat to bone ratio with enough fat to give the ribs added flavour & keep them moist during your cook.
How do we cut Monster Pork Spare Ribs?
All our Monster Pork Spare Ribs are cut from Fresh selected Bone In Pork Bellies with the rind on.
To cut our Monster Pork Spare Ribs we first need to select Pork Bellies about 5 kilos, our expert butchers then remove the Rind from across the back of the Whole Belly. Once the Rind has been removed, they then take most of the surface fat from across the Belly. The Belly is then Square cut at both ends to make this into a Rack of Pork Spare Ribs. The butchers leave both layers of the Belly Rib Meat on the rack to give better value & larger portions per rib.
The dimensions & weights are variable because they are a natural meat cut that varies according to the size of the Pigs. We do try to select similar sized Bellies but, we make these in large batches using hundreds of Pork Bellies at one time & it is not always possible to keep to our preferred weight range.
Monster Spare Ribs Specifications:
- Weight: 2.7 Kilos
- Width: 25 cm
- Rack Length: 35 cm
- Thickness: 20 mm
- 2 layers of juicy meat.
This is very similar how we make our Pork St Louis Ribs except we trim down the outside edge by the soft bone to make them narrower & parallel cut.
How do we pack Monster Pork Spare Ribs?
These are packed into our Clear Recyclable Pouches, Vacuum Sealed 1 Rack per pack.
How we cut & package our Monster Pork Spare Ribs is very important to us because it will give a better result in the kitchen at home or restaurant. The process of cutting & packaging our Pork Spare Ribs is very fast & hygienic, we only handle the ribs twice (once cutting & once packing), the whole process takes less than 5 minutes.
The vacuum process helps to keep the natural meat juices inside the Pork Spare Rib Racks, with the Pouches holding the meat in its original shape, for the best flavour & results when cooking. Once the Spare Ribs are packaged, they are labelled with full Farm to Fork Traceability (including QR code on how to cook). The Spare Rib Racks are placed into reusable plastic crates or recycled boxes, placed on pallets & Blast Frozen to -25°c.
Please see this link about The benefits & Blast Freezing explained. You can enjoy fresh cut Monster Pork Spare Ribs straight from your freezer up to 2 years, when kept at -18°c.
We package our Monster Pork Spare Ribs into Clear Recyclable Pouches because; it protects them from contamination, the natural moisture in the ribs remains in the meat, it holds their shape, makes them easy to store in the freezer at home without any freezer burn & is the perfect way to let them thaw out without drying out. The Clear Recyclable Freezer Friendly Pouches combined with all the hygiene processes gives the Pork Spare Ribs a far longer shelf life.
All our production facilities are BRCGS / IFS approved that make any of our meat cuts or products. All refrigerated air is filtered in production rooms, the butchers & packing staff wear fully protective clothing, these precautions reduce natural bacteria. The low temperatures help to keep the meat from losing its natural juices, this makes for a juicier piece of Pork with a more natural flavour when opening at home.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint & looking towards a Greener Future is one of our biggest concerns. We are always looking at ways to deliver product safely & cut down on our packaging. The Recyclable Clear Pouches we are now using are thinner & stronger reducing our plastic weight each year. The insulated boxes we use to dispatch your home deliveries in is fully recyclable & are also able to be reused in the home.
Please see our packaging page on how to reuse your delivery boxes & insulation.
Are Monster Pork Spare Ribs good value for money?
The Meatier the Rib, the better value, & because our Monster Pork Spare Ribs are the Meatiest ones you can buy, they are excellent value for money.
Our 2.7 Kilo Monster Sized Pork Ribs are cut & trimmed to Reduce Food Waste to make these better value, as the weight you buy is closer to the weight you cook. These save you money because you aren’t throwing away meat you have paid for.
To reduce the price of our Monster Pork Spare Ribs we make them in large wholesale batches. The big volumes help to reduce the cost per Rack of Spare Ribs because of the economies of scale we can gain through reduced production costs & the raw materials. Creating our Spare Ribs at the slaughterhouse using highly efficient cutting & packing methods reduces cost per portion.
Using Green Renewable Energy Sources saves money & increases sustainability, distribution on pallets reduces emissions, all these savings are passed on to our wholesale & retail customers. Please see the information about how we are looking to give you more meat for your money on our meats; #moremeatfym
Provenance of our Pork:
We source all our Pork close to our production facilities to reduce our “Carbon Footprint” with lower vehicle emissions & less journey times, reducing stress levels for the pigs. Sourcing our Pork locally to the cutting factories in Belgium & Poland from Northern France / Belgium & the Northern region of Poland, ensures we have a sustainable supply of high quality Pork from good welfare farms. Having top grade Pork allows us to make “Restaurant Quality” pork cuts in larger volumes to supply homes & restaurants across the UK & Europe.
Our choice of preferred Pig breed is “Pietrain Pig”, this is found mainly in the Wallonia region of Western Belgium & is exported to regions across Europe.
These are a Pig with a good meat yield, low in cholesterol, good muscle structure & a mild temperament. The Pork has a good flavour & texture, combined with modern day slaughtering techniques are designed to be as humane as possible, ensuring light coloured, soft meat.
The colour of our Pork is a light pink & has no discolouring from bruising or a high PH level as the pigs have been looked after from farm all the way through to processing in the best humane way as possible. This makes sure that you get a tastier more tender piece of Pork that guarantees great flavour.
