Slide the knife blade, without cutting, underneath the membrane, above the bone toward the other end of the rib bone. 4. When 2/3 of the way up the bone, turn the knife blade UP, and cut the membrane. 5. Use a paper towel to GRIP the membrane, it is very slippery and a paper towel will save hours of frustration.
