Silver skin

[pyrobow]

I see alot of receipes saying to remove the silver skin. What is the purpose?

[Passthrough]

Taste.....and texture

[stickerpatch59]

what kinda meat are you talking about?
if you are talking about deer meat that silverish film will be tough to chew thru. it's kinda like sinew, what the Native Americans made their bow strings out of.

Fry it up with some alligator fat and you might quit hunting

Sorry, on ribs.

Doesn’t break down during the cook. Makes for a tougher rib

[Tom]

use it to make bow string

If you’re smoking them it makes a barrier that the smoke has trouble getting through. And it’s a bit tough to chew through.

Doesn't matter if its on ribs or backstrap, you will have hell of a time chewing it.

Just remove it, better eating.

It’s the tough lining on the bottom side of the ribs. Pull it off before smoking

[RattlesnakeDan]

Also, it shrinks when cooked pulling the meat tight and making the meat tough.

It’s on venison backstrap and u can’t chew up.

I never remove it from my ribs and I’ve never experienced less smoke flavor, tough meat or anything else negative. Mine taste just like everyone else’s that does remove it. As far as being tough to chew...there’s no meat on that side of the rib so no one eats it. I’ve smoked a lot of ribs in my day and nobody has ever complained about the silver skin being left on and everyone comes back for more.
Waste of time in my opinion.
