It's the sugar that makes the sweet sticky glaze which is why you need so much.

Hi archiesdad,

These threads may help:

Ribs (cooking and sauces - merged)

Chinese spare ribs

I'll add your thread to the first link later to keep the suggestions together.

I love barbeque ribs and my method is this - put ribs in slow cooker with a little water on low for a few hours. I do use the Jack Daniels sauce which is expensive but lovely. I add a couple of glugs of tomato sauce to it and a couple of desert spoons of brown suger. I then put the ribs in a roasting dish cover with the sauce and in a medium oven for approx 20 mins.

Now I know this isn't strictly os as I use a bottled sauce :eek: and I have made the sauce myself before but they are lovely if done as above. As good as, if not better, than our local american diner.

I cook mine slowly in the bottom of the oven, then cover in a sauce and finish in a hotter oven to caramelise

There's a thread full of recipes here. I'll add this thread to that one later to keep ideas together.

The best ribs I've ever had were made with a typical bbq honey sauce, but they had chunks of orange flesh in too, and were topped with thin slices of orange which had been glazed under the grill, they were absolutely divine. Wouldn't have thought to put it in myself but the juicy tartness of the orange cut through the sticky sweetness of the glaze, mmmmm

The worst I've ever had were plain ribs which had been cooked in the oven, then had a massive squeeze of bbq table sauce on them, so you just got a massive mouthful of sauce (not even marinade, the kind you have with chips ) then chewy bland plain ribs

I have a 500g rack of sweet cured pork ribs for dinner tonight, the packaging says cook for 30-35mins per kg, but am worried they might be a bit chewy if cooked that quickly.

I always cook chunky spare ribs slowly then adding sauce near the end, but these are not as meaty (its like the rack of ribs you'd get in a tgis/franky and bennys type place)

Can I cook them at a low temp for about an hour before adding sauce and cranking the heat up?

Or has anyone any must-eat recipes for ribs?
