    Wash your hands before cooking or preparing any food by hand. Clean the spare ribs first before preparing and adding spices. These ribs will have some top fat and silver skin that you will need to clean.

    Sharpen your chef knives with a sharpener. Make sure they are exceptionally sharp as you will have to cut through some tough pieces on your spare ribs.
