How to Quickly Cook Fork-Tender Ribs (6 Steps)

Fork-tender ribs are often cooked over low heat, which makes the cooking process lengthy. But by choosing the right kind of ribs and marinating them, you'll get a fork-tender meal every time. The longer you leave the ribs in the refrigerator to marinate, the more tender they'll be and the less cooking time you'll need. Fork-tender ribs make an ideal entrée when accompanied by side dishes such as corn and baked potatoes; they can also be served as finger food.
