I made some smoked pork ribs yesterday and used a dry rub on them I just got at Costco. I thought they were cooked pretty well, unfortunately they are very salty. Must be from the rub, I'll go back to making my own next time. I could only eat two ribs last night. I still have a couple racks of these left, and was wondering what you guys think about salvaging them. I was thinking about soaking them in some distilled water in the fridge overnight, then pat them dry and cook on high heat on the grill real quick, finishing with some barbecue sauce. Or after soaking in the water, I could remove the meat from the bones and cut it up, mix with bbq sauce and make sandwiches with it.

ouch. that smarts!

I think you have the right idea - rinse them off, a short soak (not a long soak - that could let more salty water soak in....) - rinse again.

hopefully much of the 'too much salt' is only on the surface.

taste then,,,,
I'd slather them with a mild bbq sauce vs more dry rub - but that of course could be heretical in dry rib territory....

I like the sandwich idea better. How abut chicken strips with barbeque spices on them?
