What colour box were they in as I picked up a box of the German extra meaty in a red box for £21.99 but I was confronted by almost a solid frozen block when I opened the box as they are not individually wrapped and it only had a couple of pieces of ill fitting separating film, I managed to prise 1 rack off the lump, put the rest in the fridge over night but then in the morning I only got another 2 racks off the lump, in the end I ended up running the cold tap and directing the water along the edge of the racks and they came away pretty easy and still frozen so then vac packed the 11 racks and back in the freezer.
I've now got 15 racks as got a pack of 4 from Costco Sunday too (very disappointing 120 round trip there) but they cost about £17 for the 4 and the butcher must have been badly trained as they were very poorly trimmed and I had to trim out shards of bone from every rib.
