I have a set of your average everyday Lloyd's BBQ Babyback Ribs here, got it from the local supermarket..

I'm looking at the cooking directions; 375 for 45-50 minutes...

Wouldn't lower (and slower) serve me better here, given the large amount of connective tissue?

Wouldn't say 250-275 at say 70 minutes...might that not work out better?

Yeah, long time to cook ribs, but...with sauce and all in there, I would imagine the longer cook time at a lower temp, would to better at rendering out the collegen and all that?

Or are the standard directions of 375/50 minutes a better way to go?

Aren't the Lloyd's already par-cooked? If so, this would account for the short cook time/high temp.

Yep, just Googled it, and they *are* already slow cooked, you are merely bringing your ribs to temp, not "cooking" them.

Probably...yeah, looking at the ingredients - "Cooked pork loinback ribs"...

Well, what they consider cooked, anyway...crap, wish I had seen that beforehand. Ah well. Question still stands

ETA Ahh...ok..so I'm just heating them up. Well...crap.

Last time I made some of these, it was like eating a dog treat with bbq sauce. I was hoping lower and slower would improve things...but, if they've already cooked it..

A couple of hours at 225 with indirect heat from pecan or hickory coals should do the trick.

cook on high until the lightning stops

yeah, they're already cooked

But I'm sure the Lloyds folks did 'em low and slow

Why don't you give him the recipe for your "sauce"? I made your "sauce". What is it supposed to be used for?

Marinade, baste, topping, anything at all.

We buy ribs from Sam's club. Cut the long racks into half. Lay foil on a cookie sheet, lay ribs on cookie sheet, apply rub. Cover with foil and close edges. 250 for 4 hours.

Im a yankee and even I know you dont put sauce on ribs. You rub them. Smoke them for half a day and serve sauce on the side for the wierdos. I have tried loyds ribs though and they werent bad for a quick fix.

Thus the basis of their appeal

Things worked out well, just wish I coulda cooked 'em longer, gotten more of the fat and such to run. It would have been a far better dish that way.

Next time I get around to it...yeah, uncooked, with a good rub, and then go from there.
