I have some country ribs that I want to use a combination of grilling and crockpot.?

Question

I want the smokey flavor of the grilling but the tenderness of the crockpot. Can I cook them in the pot and finish them in the crock? Or should I grill them first then transfer them to the pot? Do I have to add liquid to the pot of can I just cook them after I add seasoning?

Answer 1

I do this all the time. We love the ribs but with working all day we don't have the time so I salt and pepper them and put them in the Crock pot on low for about 5 hours. (not much longer or they will fall apart yummy but not good for grilling). Remove from Crock pot and grill on hot grill with BBQ sauce delish! If I have the time I will bake them covered in the oven for about 90 min with a little bit of water then put them on the grill. Enjoy. Julie

I think that's a great idea! I always pre-cook country style ribs before I grill them. If you grill them without partially cooking them first, they tend to get too crispy or burned on the outside before the inside is done.

I would recommend adding liquid to the crockpot. Alternately, you could boil them a bit before you put them on the grill.

Using your idea will give you moist and flavorful country ribs. Can I come over and help eat them?

Put them in the oven for a few hours (until fully cooked) with a little bit of water in the bottom of the pan they are in covered with foil and then grill them with bbq or season them while raw. *If they are too tender and are falling apart grill on foil to avoid losing half your dinner.

i would grill them first because after you slow cook them they will be way to tender to put on grill they also sell liqiid smoke if you don't want to add liquid grease the pot first
