Asian-Inspired: Replace BBQ sauce with teriyaki glaze and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
FAQ
Q: Can I cook ribs at a higher temperature to save time?
A: While it’s possible, cooking ribs at a lower temperature ensures they become tender and flavorful. High heat might dry them out or make them tough.
Q: How do I know the ribs are done?
A: Ribs are done when the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bones. The internal temperature should reach around 190-205°F (88-96°C) for the best texture.
Q: Can I use beef ribs instead of pork ribs?
A: Yes! Beef ribs work perfectly with this method, though they may require a slightly longer cooking time due to their size.
Q: Can I make the ribs ahead of time?
A: Absolutely. Cook the ribs up to 2 days ahead, store them in the fridge, and reheat with a fresh layer of BBQ sauce for 10-15 minutes before serving.
