How to Cook Ribs in the Oven Slowly
If you love the sweet tenderness of barbecue ribs but don't have access to a smoker, don't worry -- you can prepare baked ribs that will fall off the bone right in your oven. Whether you make your own marinade or use a bottle of store-bought barbecue sauce, cooking ribs in the oven takes a few hours, so plan ahead. Since the long, slow process can begin as early as the day before, choose a day later in the week when you want to have ribs. If you wait until the mood strikes you, you may be stuck waiting an extra day.
Things You'll Need
- Ribs
- Barbecue sauce or marinade
- Aluminum foil
- Two large baking dishes
- Oven
- Spatula
Instructions
-
Place your ribs in a large dish, and slather them in marinade or barbecue sauce. Refrigerate, allowing them to marinate overnight -- or at least two hours.
-
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Transfer your ribs into a large baking dish, meat side down. Cover it with foil, and place it in the oven for three hours.
-
Pull out the baking dish, and flip your ribs over with a spatula. Baste them with sauce or marinade. Remove the aluminum foil, and put your ribs back in the oven for another 25 minutes.
-
Check to make sure the ribs are done before serving. When you can easily split them apart with a knife, they are tender and finished. Serve them with a side of barbecue sauce.
