I have been a bachelor for about 7 yrs now, and have yet to cook much unprepared food. I need a simple 1,2,3,4 step method to cook the ribs I just thawed out for my son and I. I will be cooking them tomorrow for lunch or when ever we wake up. I know I could search the web, but I also know y'all are pretty dang sharp when it comes to meat, and cooking. I don't have a grill, just an oven or a toaster oven. I have a bottle of Famous Daves "Devil Spit", and Stub's Spicy Bar-B-Que" sauce. I now feel slightly ashamed. It's been a rough weekend so far. what with the AK, and the Glock , the Terminator, and now having to admit I can't cook meat without help.

Help me out here, I'm feeling slightly defeated, and want to win.

Based on no grill, want it easy, etc, try this:





- Make a rub with equal portions of Brown Sugar, Paprika, Black Pepper, and Salt (easy, or google a rib rub you like, or just use a bit of sugar/salt, whatever you like really)


- Rub Ribs thoroughly, give 'em at least an hour, 6-8 would be great


- Preheat oven to 300


- Take baking sheet, put ribs on baking sheet, bone down, and add 1/4 cup water to the baking sheet


- Cover with tinfoil, "tenting" it as best as you can, but seal it down pretty well around the edges


- Cook 'em for 2.5 hours sealed and covered


- Remove the foil, cook another 30 mins


- Brush your BBQ sauce on, cook another 30 minutes.





(If you want to do 'em before you go to bed and have 'em nearly ready for when you wake up, same deal except set the oven for 225, put 'em in when you go to bed, when you get up they'll be ready 'cept for the saucing)





Remove 'em, let 'em setup for a few minutes, serve 'em up.





Your times may vary a bit depending on the size of the ribs, and you can find any recipe for the rub you like, but the technique will work just fine, I've done it many times.





Good luck!

If you don't have time to do the rub just coat them in a small amount of sauce before you add the water to your baking pan, making sure not to wash the sauce off the ribs when you add it. Then tent them just as the previous poster said, 300 deg for 2.5 hours. Remove the ribs from the oven, sauce them again and then place them on another baking sheet for 15 minutes at 350 deg. This is almost the same way we do them at our restaurant, except we grill them after the braise, sauce them, then place them in the oven for only a few minutes. We make our own sauce as well, of course. :p Good luck, they should turn out well as long as you do the braising properly.

Thanks for the good help. I will give it a rub down before I go to bed, and start cooking it when I get up this afternoon. Working nights really screws a guy up.

I agree with this but coat the ribs in the BBq sauce first and then wrap them tightly in the foil

Change water for apple/grape juice....

That recipe will work pretty decently in the oven.

+1 on apple juice

hold the honey bottle about 4 feet above and add a light drizzling (best way to describe it) = party in mouth
