how to cook ribs?

Question

I was wondering if you put ribs in the broiler first to brown it then put it in the oven or in the oven first then in the broiler to brown it,
when its in the oven do you cover it?
which step cooks the meat well and still leaves it tender

Answer 1

Yum. I have cooked Ribs many times. I find one of the best ways is boiling the Ribs for about 3 hours, then put it in the oven with lots of BBQ sauce for 1 hour until the sauce caramelizes. The Ribs are so tender they fall apart before you can even make it to you plate.

another way is if you have a slow cooker you can put the ribs in the slow cooker with BBQ sauce all day, then when you are ready to eat later in the day you can sit down for a bite to eat no preparation.

Or you can make you own sauce. yum... BBQ sauce consists of lots of sugar. I like my food spicy . Pretty much everything I like goes into my sauce. yum yum....

For starters, try and keep it simple.

You can try and fry the Ribs and high temp to keep the moister in, then cook it in the oven for a couple hours.

Try marinading your ribs the day before. sometimes your favorite salad dressing even works. Believe me it is awesome. Most salad dressing has vinegar in it wich tenderizes the meat.

Well I hope I was some help.. I always use the first suggestion because it has always turned out that way. Everybody does things differently.

Answer 2

I do a lot for the cooking of ribs. When partially frozen I scrape as much fat off as possible then I season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper then I cut them into serving pieces and lay them in the roaster. I brown them in a hot 425 oven for about 40 minutes then drain off any grease in the pan. I then add some water to cover the bottom of the pan , turn the heat down to 350 , cover the pan and cook at 350 for about an hour. After that , I drain off the water and cover with some flavoured barbecue sauce and over that pour some favourite spaghetti sauce. I cover them and cook slowly at 225 for about 2 hours. Trust me they are so delicious. They may not sound good but they are yummy and so tender.

Oven BBQ Ribs
Where love of ribs meets the lips, more napkins please

4 slabs pork loin back ribs

First Stage Dry Rub:
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup paprika
1/3 cup garlic salt
2 tablespoons onion salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1 teaspoon cumin

Second Stage:
1/2 cup apple juice per slab
1/2 cup grape juice per slab

Third Stage:
3/4 cup First Stage rub
1/4 cup brown sugar

Finishing Glaze:
1 1/2 cup red sauce
1/2 cup honey

Raw Preparation: Place slab of ribs bone side down on table. Slide knife under the membrane and against the end bone to separate the 2. With a dry paper towel, grasp the edge of the thin membrane and pull. The entire membrane should separate from the rib.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Combine First Stage rub and mix well. Generously apply rub onto the front and back sides of ribs. Gently pat to ensure that rub will adhere. Place ribs meat-side up on a broiler pan and bake for 2 1/4 hours.

Remove ribs from oven. Place each rib meat-side down on its own doubled aluminum foil square. Foil should be large enough to completely wrap rib. Mix the Second Stage juices. Pour 1 cup of liquid over each rib. At the same time wrap and seal each rib tight. Return to the oven for 1 hour.

Remove wrapped ribs from oven. Remove from foil and apply a medium coat of the Third Stage rub to the meat-side of the ribs. Place uncovered in the oven meat-side up for 30 minutes.

Remove ribs from oven and increase oven temperature to 350 degrees. Brush finishing glaze on both sides of ribs. Place ribs in oven for 10 minutes, or until sauce caramelizes.

Oven-Barbecued Spareribs

The Problem: When done right, ribs barbecued outdoors have a great smoky flavor and fork-tender texture. Most recipes for oven-baked ribs try to produce that barbecued flavor by slathering on smoke-flavored sauce, but there's a fundamental difference between ribs that taste of smoke and ribs that are smoked.

The Goal: We wanted to replicate the deep, rich flavor of outdoor barbecued ribs--indoors.

The Solution: We analyzed the market for commercial stovetop smokers, discovering that their design was so basic we could build our own. But we found that stovetop smoking created a number of problems: It was difficult to find a pan large enough to fit the ribs in one batch, wood chips are not readily available in the dead of winter, and the billowing smoke made the test kitchen reek of hickory for days. We could use the oven to solve two of these problems--it contained the smoke and it could hold a baking sheet large enough for the ribs to lie flat--but we couldn't get the oven hot enough to ignite the wood. We looked to the east for our solution. Chinese cooks smoke a variety of foodstuffs over smoldering black tea, and we discovered that the strong-tasting Lapsang Souchong perfumed the ribs with a rich smokiness, even when the oven was kept at a temperature low enough (250 degrees) to keep the ribs fork-tender. We boosted the flavor with a homemade spice rub.

Answer 6

I usually boil them on the stove. It cooks them through and makes them tender. I like them broiled on a grill but a broiler will do. Don't put on the sauce until they are almost finished broiling.

Answer 7

It depends on how big they are. Cook them covered in alfoil for the majority of time the the last 10 Min's cook uncovered - all done in oven.
