I set up a little taste-testing at my house today....family was over and I figured I'd have some fun with ribs. I'm always fiddling with this or that...and havent determined the best way for US to cook ribs (9 hrs on the grill/smoker is not an option. its the BEST way, but not for US).
1) Boil for 45 minutes, throw on the grille for 30 min on high, bbq towards the end
2) 1" of seasoned water on bottom of crockpot, cook on low for 3.5 hrs, throw on grill 30 mins on high,bbq at the end
3)no liquid on bottom of shallow baking pan, cover with foil, 230 degrees for 4 hrs, then onto the grill for 30 min on high, bbq at the end
4) 'braise' them in their own foil packets with a bit of liquid and spice, in oven for 3.5 hrs, then onto the grill for 30 on high,bbq at the end
The winner by unanimous decision....CROCK POT!!! All ribs were the same(baby back), seasoned with the same rub, served with the same sauce etc.
Just thought I'd share...I'm glad it's the easiest recipe! The key here is not OVER doing the crockpot...last time I tried 5-6 hrs and they were too tender....needed a fork!
