A full rack of pork ribs typically contains 10-13 ribs, although this number can vary.
The number of ribs in a rack depends on the butcher's preparation. According to the reference:
- A rack of ribs will have a minimum of 8 ribs, but can also include up to 13, depending on the butcher and how it was prepared.
- Butchers might call a rack with less than 10 ribs a "cheater rack."
- A full pork rack generally has 10-13 ribs.
Here's a breakdown by meat type:
| Meat Type | Number of Ribs |
|---|---|
| Pork | 10-13 |
| Beef | 9 |
| Lamb | 7-8 |
