Crock pot Barbque Ribs?

Question

I live in an apt. so I can't use a grill for making ribs. I heard you could make them in a crock pot, but wasn't sure how? Thanks for all your help.

Answer 1

Slow cooked BBQ Ribs (for crock pot):

½ day 10 min prep
4-6 servings

3 lbs pork spareribs
salt
pepper
1 jar barbecue sauce (I like "Masterpiece")
1 onion, diced

1. Do not pre-heat the slow cooker.
2. Dice up the onion, add to crock pot.
3. Rub the ribs with salt and pepper, add to crock pot.
4. Dump BBQ sauce on top.
5. Cook on low setting for 8-10 hours.
6. Try not to lift the lid too much.
7. The meat will FALL OFF THE BONE!

Answer 2

If you are cooking spare ribs, then a half a rack per adult is normal. If you are cooking country style ribs, then two or three "ribs" is enough for one adult. If you are serving these ribs at a cook-out (or barbecue) you can figure that people will also be eating other things, like steak and sausages, or hamburgers and hotdogs, so you could serve fewer ribs. If you aren't serving other main courses, then you probably won't be able to fit enough ribs in your crock pot. In any case, fill your crock pot up to the rim. Left-over crock pot ribs reheat well, so don't be unhappy if you ever have leftovers. But be aware, if you are filling your crock pot to the rim, that the ribs at the top won't be cooked as well-done as those at the bottom of the pot. To remedy this, you may want to "rotate" your ribs about half way through cooking. That is, take all the ribs out of the pot; put the ones that were on top on the bottom, and the ones that were on the bottom on the top.

If you really want the meat to fall off the bones, then, with spare ribs, you will want to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. You can get it started by using a knife, but then get your fingers underneath to loosen it up and finally peel it off.

For spare ribs, cut the ribs into portions with two or four ribs in a single piece. Country style ribs should be cut into single "rib" servings.

Use your favorite barbecue sauce; personally, I like K.C. Masterpiece BBQ sauce, or BULL'S-EYE® original BBQ sauce. You will probably need two bottles, depending on the size of the bottle and how many ribs you're making. If you would like to make your own BBQ sauce, here is a great recipe for BBQ sauce.

Pour the whole bottle of sauce into a large bowl, and dip each rib portion in the sauce then put the rib portion in your crock pot.

After you've put all the ribs into the crock pot, using a rubber scraper, get all the barbecue sauce from the bowl into the crock pot on top of the ribs. Add more barbecue sauce if you think you need more for the amount of ribs you have.

Cover your crock pot and cook on low for a minimum of seven up to around eighteen hours. How long you cook the ribs depends on a lot of different variables, like how many ribs you are cooking, how big your crock pot is, the temperature at which your crock pot cooks, and how done you like your ribs. I find that cooking in a crock pot is good if you want the meat to fall off the bones, and have a wet sauce. The longer you cook the ribs the more they will "fall of the bone". I put my ribs in the crock pot the night before, just before I go to bed, as I like the longer cooking times when cooking ribs in a crock pot.

About an hour before you serve the ribs, you may want to drain the wet sauce off the ribs and into a sauce pan. Start it simmering and cook the sauce down for about an hour. Or at serving time you could remove the ribs from the sauce that they cooked in, putting them on a serving platter, and then top with "fresh" sauce that is thicker. Or serve sauce on the side. However you do it, I'm sure the ribs will be tasty!

Answer 4

Yes and they are wonderful. The meat just falls off the bone. First you want to make sure to get rid of the excess fat-- cut it off, broil the ribs or boil the fat off. (I prefer to cut it off).
Then put the ribs in your crock pot in the morning, pour your fav. BBQ sauce over (I use a whole bottle), put on LOW and let cook all day. MMMMMMMMM.

Answer 5

After cooking in the crockpot, you can finish the ribs off under the broiler to give them some amount of browning. You'll want to be able to manipulate them with the tongs, so don't wait until they are literally falling off the ribs. Poke with fork to determine the tenderness you prefer. Transfer to baking sheet and brush with sauce. Broil until browned to your taste.
