SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS



Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs image

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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs are both good options for slow cooking, but baby back ribs are leaner and cook more quickly. You can also use country-style pork ribs, which are cut from the shoulder and have more meat on them.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat from the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook more evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
  • Season the ribs: Season the ribs with your favorite rub or spices before cooking. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the ribs on low heat: Slow cooking is the best way to achieve fall-off-the-bone ribs. Cook the ribs on low heat for 6-8 hours or until they are tender.
  • Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of your favorite sauce or broth will help keep them moist and flavorful. Baste the ribs every hour or so during cooking.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the ribs even more tender.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker ribs are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With a little planning and preparation, you can have fall-off-the-bone ribs that are sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious meal, give slow cooker ribs a try. You won't be disappointed!
