Tools:

Recipes

Best served with:

Oven-Roasted Potato Wedges
Twice-baked Herb Bread
Twice-baked Potatoes

Directions:

1. Precook Ribs:

Note: Precooking ribs is essential – the final ribs will be nicely falling apart and will be really juicy

1.1.

First, ensure the meat is properly rinsed under cold water.

1.2. For easier manipulation, optionally cut each rack of ribs into 4 – 5 pieces.

Necessary:

  • Do not remove the membrane in order to let ribs hold nicely together during cooking and serving.
  • During precooking, the membrane will cook to the point of not impacting the flavor and texture while preventing the ribs from falling apart.

1.3.

Place a large pot on a high heat burner, add 2 TSP of salt, briefly stir, and add ribs.

1.4.

Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 90 minutes.

1.5.

Remove the ribs from the water and spread them on a cutting board or cooling rack to cool at room temperature before placing them into the marinade.

The major focus of this section is to explain the basic methods on already cut portions.
