Steps:
- Preheat Saladmaster brasier pan on medium, approximately 4 minutes, or when several drops of water sprinkled on the pan skitter and dissipate. Cut ribs into serving size pieces. Place ribs in pan to sear. When meat releases, turn and sear other side. You may need to do all of the meat in two phases because all of the meat may not fit into pan; in which case, place first series of meat onto a plate while searing remaining meat. Meanwhile, in a 3 quart saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, celery salt, ginger, pineapple, water onion, vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, orange peel and hot pepper sauce. Stir mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 2 minutes or until thickened. When ribs are seared on both sides, place all meat into braiser pan and pour ingredients from sauce pan over ribs. Cover pan, turn heat down to simmer and cook for approximately 4 hours. During the 4 hours turn meat approximately 3 times to assure all of the meat is covered with sauce. When meat is easily picked off the bone, it is ready to serve.
