Also I was not using a probe, just a digital thermometer inserted in a half dozen of the thickest areas of the ribs. And the wife and I are about to eat the last few ribs right now, with pinto beans and ppotato salad. Bon apetit.Unfortunately because of the coronavirus I did not get to go to my house in France this summer. French pork is much leaner than American, and the pigs appear to be much bigger. Lat summer I ordered 3 shoulders for a family cookout-each one averaged 7 kilos. The ribs I cooked this weekend were just grocery store rbs, uninfected with flavor solution.
