Steps:
- Peel the membrane off the back of the ribs. I find this goes better if I use a butter knife and start at the narrow end. Loosen that end and slowly pull it off as you work to be sure you get the whole width. Also, trim any chunks of fat on the ends and look for bone chips on the end of the ribs.
- If you want to use liquid smoke, rub a small amount on the ribs before the dry rub. Use a commercial rub or make your own. Apply a good coat of the rub.
- Cut in half and place in a large crock pot. Position the ribs in the crock pot to keep as much of the ribs elevated as possible. Use rolled-up foil if you need to brace or elevate the ribs.
- Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Do not remove the top to check the ribs as they cook. You are creating a mini oven. So, don't let the heat out. The ribs need to be "fork-tender" and reach a minimum of 185° but over 195°-205°.
- Remove the ribs. At this point, you could refrigerate for later use. Or place on pan and brush with BBQ sauce of your choice.
- Place under a broiler until you get the desired browning - about 5 minutes for me with a high broiler and the rack at 7 inches. Or you may also brown on your grill.

SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS
These are the best I've had, short of the actual grilling method of course! This is a very simple recipe that I came up with a few years ago. It's not rocket science, just ribs cooked in the slow cooker and finished in the oven. This is what I do when I want ribs during the week and have to work all day. I'm eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!

Steps:
- Trim excess fat from ribs. Combine dry ingredients and rub over the surface of the ribs. Place ribs in slow cooker or Crock-Pot standing on their edge with the meaty side out. Cook for about 8 hours. Remove ribs from slow cooker and brush with barbecue sauce.
- My Note: THE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENTLY WAS THAT I TURNED OFF THE SLOW COOKER AND I REMOVED THE RIBS. I PLACED THEM ONTO A FLAT TRAY LINED WITH FOIL, WITH MINIMAL JUICE FROM THE SLOW COOKER. I PRE-HEATED THE OVEN TO 380 AND I BRUSHED THE RIBS WITH SWEET RAYS BBQ SAUCE ( WE LOVE THIS BBQ SAUCE) AND WE BAKED THEM FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO FIRM THEM UP A BIT AND GLAZE THEM. THEY WERE AWESOME.
- First, we cooked for 6.5 hours on low, and the ribs came out moist and falling off the bone tender. Any longer, and they would have not have held together. Second, we also coated lightly in BBQ sauce when they came out, and then put them under the broiler for 7 minutes. That way, the outside was crispy and BBQ-like, but the inside was moist and so, so, tender. When we make again, we'll take them out after 6 hours, which is plenty on low! My wife said they are the best she's ever had, and my mother-in-law wanted the recipe!

- Prep the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim any excess fat.
- Use your favorite BBQ sauce: You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own. You'll need about 1 cup of sauce for a 3-pound rack of ribs.
- Cook the ribs on low for 6-8 hours: This will give the ribs time to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Baste the ribs with sauce during the last hour of cooking: This will help to caramelize the sauce and give the ribs a delicious glaze.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Some popular choices include coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker ribs are an easy and delicious way to enjoy this classic barbecue dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a rack of tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
