Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Using a butter knife or your fingers, slide under the thin membrane on the bone side of each rack and pull it off in one piece — removing it allows the rub to penetrate and the meat to become more tender. Cut each rack in half crosswise so the pieces fit in the slow cooker.
