I made these ribs without the membrane and liquid smoke in the sauce and cut the recipe in half for 2 people. When taking them out of the slow cooker after 5 hours, they were falling off the bone. After baking them for 10 minutes because our broiler burns everything within 2 minutes, and adding more sauce, my bff declared them restaurant quality. To me, they were melt in your mouth heaven. Will definitely make these again. Thanks, ATK.

I know this is an old video but it's a classic. My go to method. Dry slow cook ,rest, baste, broil, rest, baste and eat! My family loves these ribs. We've not done grilled ribs since using this method. So tender and full of flavor.

Tried the recipe. Excellent and close enough to real outdoor bbq ribs on a rainy or snowy day. I did not take the membrane off as suggested and it helped keep the ribs together. For all those that “demanded” the membrane removal, you probably didn’t leave your ribs in the slow cooker long enough or you may have a failing cooker. Thank you ladies for a great recipe!

@JakobNoone Жыл бұрын

If you're religiously dedicated to removing it, it comes off after cooking super easily. Why waste time? I do slit it and throw some rub on it before cooking. Seems to offset any flavor-blocking the membrane might cause.

Recently did a pressure cooker (one of those I Pots) version very similar to this crock pot recipe. Also turned out great, and was about 90 minutes from start to finish. 40 minutes was heat up/cook/release time. Rest prep work and final slather of sauce for the broiler. For winter time when the smoker is packed away, these kinds of recipes are super great alternatives.

Thank you ladies. You're the greatest! I used half garlic powder and half onion powder. Then threw a few peeled garlic cloves in the crock. Finished them off on our little grill for the proper char - and oven clean up concerns. Too chicken to make our own sauce - no molasses or apple juice in the pantry! Plus we have some excellent local sources of some pretty decent store bought sauce. Just my little tweeks!

Just cook it down with some ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar/molasses/honey, worcheshire-or-how-ever-you-spell that, some spices and chilli. For spices I usually use a couple of tablespoons of whatever rub I'm using on the ribs. It'll be awesome.
