Ribs in the cooker

[glowstick]

Has anyone here ever done their ribs(backribs) in the slowcooker?

I dont do ribs often but I see no reason why you couldn't. If not mistaken, Frogy does them in the pressure cooker.

Lots of recipes here. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=slow+cooker+ribs&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

i have done it also for pot luck events. I cut the ribs into 3-4 rib pieces so they line the bottom,cover with favourite sauce, and another layer and more sauce to cover.

Just bought some ribs yesterday. Gonna boil 'em for about 1 1/2 hrs, lather them in sauce and throw them on the barby. Don't have a cooker.

I always pre cook my ribs in the oven on a rack, covered in foil with some seasonings. 350 degrees for about 1 - 1.5 hours...fork tender. Then in the fridge to firm up for a couple of hours then on the barby to glaze with the sauce or liquid they were cooked in. BBQ shoudn't be on any more than medium heat or they will burn quickly...(that is the sugar in the sauce that does that) The oven method is similar to steaming...without boiling and making them tough...the cooling prevents them from falling apart on the BBQ.

I use the slowcooker all the time for ribs. I cut them into small chunks of 1 to 3 ribs each and cover them with BarBQ sauce. They are wonderful!

When I get home from work they are fully cooked after 10 hours on the low setting. I usually cut them up when I buy them so that I can throw them in partially frozen as 10 hours is a very long time to cook thawed ribs.

For sauce I like to use a half & half mixture of Diana "Original" and Diana "Rib & Chicken".
or
I have also used Bullseye Rib & Chicken Sauce, since the waiter at a local restaurant referred to their "house" sauce as "Bullseye". It is the same flavour and very dark colour as the one on the costly ribs in the restaurant, by the way!!

All the time and my wife can't get enough of them.

Back ribs only!! No side ribs! And Costco has the best ribs. Make sure to remove the thin film of fat from the back of the ribs then cut each ribs individually.

Put them in the slow cooker, spread lots of garlic salt over them and pour 100ml of fresh water (no tap water) or beer if you prefer. Beer is good! :)

Cook on slow. After two hours, pour 1 cup of brown sugar for each 1 pounds of ribs. Let cook for another 4-6 hours.

Cook rice and use the juice on the rice. Hmmmm!!!! The wife keeps asking me for those ribs.

That's it. Requires barely any attention, but produces awesome ribs in the slow cooker.

And then there's also ribs on the BBQ. That's another story. ;)
