Can one have too many tools/gadgets? I do not think so. Here is my latest must have barbeque tool. It is a simple catfish skinner. These plain ordinary pliers will make the chore of removing the membrane from ribs a simple task. Where have you been all these years? The rib membrane can sometimes be slippery and stubborn to remove. In the past I have used a knife and towel and now realize how Neanderthal this method was.
The test was on some pork ribs. Easy as pie was the result of this wonderful contraption. Now I can rest easy knowing that removing the membrane will no longer be such a drama. Best invention since sliced bread. This will make a great stocking stuffer for your barbeque sweetie this Christmas.

I don't think I even knew you had to remove this membrane, which shows you how infrequently I cook ribs. Usually when I'm in that mood, we go out to eat.
That shows there more than one way to skin a rib!
Zoomie, Some people remove the membrane others not. The reason is to let rubs and marinades penetrate the meat with out the membrane barrier.
Chris, So true! I need to get sme catfish.
I use my needle nose pliers but that looks like a much better set up.
I love this toy. Where did you find yours?
Greg, These pliers have a larger blade for a better grip. I was a skeptic untill I tried it. I am sold.
cookiecrumb, If you are a good girl, I am sure Santa will bring you one. If you are naughty or just have the hardly can waits most bait and tackle shops have them.
I'm good!
I NEED that. The last 4 or 5 slabs of spares or loin ribs came out looking like a rabid, 3 legged beaver had been gnawing at the membrane. Using spoons, towels, pliers ... whatever the internet has to offer has failed me in the recent past. I'll sell a few thins and git me one.
