Cooking Ribs in an Oven: Tips & Techniques

[cmdtrgd]

I have the ribs and want to make them tonight or tomorrow night. Here's the issue - I can't "cook" them in my microwave because it is somewhat damaged and I don't trust that it will cook evenly and thoroughly. Can I cook them in the oven (like the 30 minute chicken can be done) until the correct temp using the same technique? If not, how should I cook them before putting them on the grill pan?

Anyone have ideas???? I'm a bit impatient because I want to do it tonight

Sure- try them in the oven! It can't hurt. I'd go at 350 for 30 minutes, and then check the temp.

Kate, are you making these just for yourself or practice for a show? Personally, I'd bake them longer, like 2 hours at 275-300 degrees, and then put them on the grill pan. They're much more tender if they bake longer. They're probably done after half an hour, but won't be super-tender.

P.S. I made ribs yesterday in the slow cooker. Just put the ribs in, covered with bbq sauce, set it to low, and in 6 hours they were falling-apart- delicious! Of course, that doesn't show off any of our products, but man, were they good!

I have to agree with Diane......ribs are best done at a lower temp for a longer time period.

I am making these for myself so I can see how they would be at a show. I know that cooking them in the DCB at a show will work, I just don't think my microwave will be safe because of the damage.
