Oh, I just remembered where I picked the tip up: it was from Alton Brown on the beef stew Good Eats show. While I don’t always agree with him and he makes factual errors on the show every so often (last night I caught him calling maltose “milk sugar,” when he meant lactose, for instance), this tip has become a permanent part of my cooking repertoire. It had never occurred to me before as when I buy short ribs, they’re always bone-in for a short-rib braise.

I have nothing to add re: cooking, but I just had to say that I loved your blog post. Very informative and very entertaining!
