Our kitchen notes

Art cooked 2 lb of ribs at 400°F for 40 minutes. His verdict: “I didn’t put enough salt.” For his next batch, he would add more salt alongside the rub. The five photographs follow preparation, the open rub jar, seasoning, oven placement and the finished dish. The exact rib cut, rub and salt amounts, other ingredients and internal temperature were not recorded, so this remains a cooking note rather than a complete recipe.
