  • I'm reacting to Ethan Chlebowski's oven ribs recipe video to give my thoughts on his recipe and ways that I would potentially improve it.
    Feel free to disagree with any BBQ concepts that I discuss in this video in the comment section. I am a student of BBQ and I always love to learn from other's knowledge and experiences.
    My goal is to level up your BBQ and make the process as non-intimidating and fun as possible. And even if you're not into BBQ, I hope you find the reaction entertaining :)
    I watch a lot of Ethan's content and he is a big inspiration for me and my content, so I had a blast reacting to it!
    Thanks for suggesting I do this guys! Hope you all enjoy ✌️😁

    When I do oven BBQ I almost always use a mustard and vinegar glue specifically so that I can introduce a bit of liquid smoke. If you want to skip a glue or marinade, you can get smoked salt for your dry brine that works decently, too. Just be sure to experiment and find your sweet spot in proportion to regular salt

Smoked salt, smoked paprika, making your own chili powder from roasted peppers, all kinds of tricks. And you don't even really need the smoke. Good meat is good meat. Chef John's salt and pepper ribs are a great example of how to do an absolutely bare bones oven rib, and it's a delicious recipe that translates well to butt.

    When I worked at my first restaurant, we would put our ribs on a wire rack on a sheet try, then we’d dilute to 50% hickory liquid smoke and covered the bottom of the pan. We’d wrap the whole sheet in Saran wrap and then foil on top. 275 for 3 1/2 hours and then we’d cool and individually wrap and cool. Reheat and finish on the restaurant grill. They tasted just fine but still not quite as good as natural smoke.

    I don't really get the joke regarding a grill not being feasible but a tin foil tent is. Like...tin foil is cheap and that tent would easily fit in an oven. But in many apartments, you can't get a grill without violating your lease and potentially getting evicted. In some cases it's literally illegal because it can pose a fire hazard to the building.

    • @AntsBBQCookout
      @AntsBBQCookout  Рік тому +2

      It was just a light joke. Wasn't speaking to the expense of the contraption just more so it looked complicated (and mysterious to me since it was so tall). I never lived in an apartment, so I appreciate the insight about some won't let you have a grill. But I will say in the situations where having a smoker is an illegal fire hazard, most likely smoking ribs with wood chips on your stove and oven is probably one too lol

Just having the grill out in the open where people can see it outside can get you in trouble, while inside smoking those chips, who's gonna know?
      But yeah, apartment living kinda sucks for things like cooking. Way less options than owning or renting a home. Honestly I didn't even think bbq would be an option at all in an apartment.

    Every old oven rib recipe I've seen had you sauce it at the beginning so in the wrapped section you are almost braising the ribs in sauce, then unwrapping to caramelize the sugars. I think when the broader world found out about rubs and dry cooking ribs we just kept the ritual of wrap then unwrap while baking.

    The water inside the can test doesn’t make a difference to the test since the smoke is only interacting with the outside of the can, and not the contents of the can (the water). So the water content of pork and the variable of water in the can is a moot point excepting the temperature difference.

    I always take these oven BBQ recipes with a pinch of salt. I just don't see it ever working as well as a real pit, though if that's what you can get it's what you can get. It's also hard to avoid pre-judging based on where they're from, since it's almost never the same region where that particular BBQ comes from. Definitely a bias I need to get over, since great BBQ can come from anywhere, but it's there and stronger when I see someone using a non-traditional method.
    Actually, speaking of people making BBQ from a place not associated with it, one you may want to check out is Flooded With Flavour. It's a second channel for the big Halo UA-camr HiddenXperia and his brisket seemed surprisingly legit to my untrained eye. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on it.

Definitely noticed a few things about it that are a little nuanced, but I've never watched his content before so I don't have a good idea of his personality. So I'm not sure if he would appreciate my commentary and light roasting 😅

    Best way you can make ribs in the oven is cover with dry rub and cover rib in foil. Cook in oven at 300 for 2 hours, then uncover ribs and cook for another 30-60 min. Let rest and enjoy perfect ribs.

    On the note about not being able to get a smoker (even a kettle) in an apartment - this is legit. Most apartment complexes prohibit having a grill (balcony or not), and consider it a lease violation if you have one. Sucks, but it's the reality of living in an apartment. They might have a community one on the property, but they're almost always dogshit

    If you live in a city center in an apartment then yes making an oven satellite out of tinfoil is way more feasible than using a grill when you have no outside space not including your balcony (and grilling in the balcony is a fire hazard).

    Ethan's oven ribs became my baseline for how to make ribs at home, so I have a lot of thoughts to bounce off this video:
    1) Your great points:
    - I tried the woodchip-packet, foil-tent monstrosity once to compare the flavor, and yeah - as you said, I could hardly taste the difference. Babish put out a video around the same time where I think he replaces the chips and water during the cook, but cooks on a gas grill... definitely not feasible with the foil tent in an oven (it's a bitch, I tried). I'd link but idk man, yt shadowban or something.
    - The liquid smoke - I never checked the ingredients on my bottle, but you're spot on; mine is diluted, and I never realized why I need a lot of it to have any kind of smoke flavor. Appreciate that comparison a lot, and I might buy the good shit in the future.
    - His soda can experiment needed more cans. Right on.
    2) Contention:
    - I'm not about to buy a barbecue setup, in an apartment, for a food I prepare just a few times a year, and I assume most of Ethan's - and even your own - viewers can relate. Still, props for mentioning how easy it is to get a grill.
    - You mentioned you're not a fan of Ethan's sauce, but as far as at-home cooked sauces go, I haven't found one that tastes better. Adding straight vinegar as a thinner can overpower the other flavors in the sauce, but I'll admit I haven't tried it. Aside from bottled sauces, do you have any recipes to share? May be worth some research, and maybe even a video??? I'd also like some talk about at-home rib rubs from you.
    I appreciate you articulating the things I thought were lacking in Ethan's original video, while more or less respecting the final result. Your shared secondary-source video style is great for yt.

      I just appreciate you watching and analyzing and sharing your thoughts on my video. It's mind blowing and humbling for real. Love the points you made and the way you think and glad you found the channel. I made a few homemade sauces from online recipes, and tried the ones from JirbyBBQ(one of goldees bbq owners). And they've all been great! I'll def try ethans next time I'm making my own instead of store bought. Great point on the ACV too, in bbq because of the smoke flavor in tandem with the meat, diluting with acv has no affect on the flavor of the sauce from my experience. It almost enhances it with the acidity contrast. But for oven ribs it may overpower like you're saying. I do like thick sauce for chicken nuggets though, sweet baby rays is my favorite sauce in general :)

    • @Muffinut
      @Muffinut Рік тому +1

      @@AntsBBQCookout Checked Jirby's sauce out, and it is SO simple. I'll try it next time, and get me some mushroom soy sauce for sure. In case you've never heard of it, mushroom ketchup is an ingredient I put in a lot of my food, and that soy might be a really good substitute.
      Jirby mentions he dilutes the sauce with water when he wraps, may be worth experimenting with adding water vs vinegar at different stages, and oven vs grill. But it probably comes down to taste on acidity. Great point on the smoke flavor vs ACV, I'll remember it when I do start bbq'ing for real.

    • @AntsBBQCookout
      @AntsBBQCookout  Рік тому +2

      out of chips, chunks and splits, chips have the lowest water content which has a big impact on the smoke you get (i am basing this solely off of the weight of the wood from experience, but I am going to be showing this in an experiment in the next few weeks).
      Now, I don't know a lot about electric smokers, but I imagine they're designed to use wood chips and can maximize the smoke you get from them. but a kitchen oven does not, plus Ethan only used 2 foil smoke packets.
