I made the 20 minute ribs and my husband swore that he thought I had cooked them all day. I think the real trick is taking that membrane off - I had never heard of that before. Removing it was easy. It tore twice but it was easy to catch another corner. I think the boning knife and paper towel were key in this - at first I tried without the towel and it was much harder to hold onto and yucky but with the paper towel it was easy.

Definitely try this at home! You will be convinced and so many people now are on really rushed, tight schedules and will love being able to have such treats with so little work. As far as cost, think what it costs for ribs at a restaurant. Even if they aren't on sale at a store it's less expensive to make them at home. I do like the idea of buying them on sale and offering hosts the savings at their show. I will also be taking a pack of napkins to each show that does the ribs - they will need them!


I have a killer pork chop recipe with a great barbecue sauce. The other day I made them with the sauce recipe that comes with the ribs and my DH loved this just as much as my original - and it was easier - less ingredients!!
 
The sauce with the ribs is SOOOOO good! BTW- it's also the sauce on the sheet for the 10-minute pork tenderloin.
 
I think that I need to try some of these recipes more often.
