Blasphemy in Cincinnati - oven ribs

[Mikhail]

It's in the teens here so I am going to do a couple racks of back ribs...in the oven. Yes, yes, I feel like a wimp but so be it.

Anyway, I defrosted them, pulled off the membranes and rubbed them with Plowboy's Yardbird (I know I have some Oakridge Secret weapon but darned if I can find it).

Going to broil or maybe gas grill them at the end with This Little Goat Went to Korea BBQ sauce on one rack, Montgomery Inn sauce (My Favorite Redhead likes it for some unknown reason) on the other.


Any tips for the best that can be expected? Thinking 275. Wrap? No wrap?

I've never been disappointed using Allrecipes dot com suggestions. Substitute you own rubs and sauce of course.

Haven’t tried this way yet, but I probably will on a chilly day.

Ribs inside? The horror!!!

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Oven? You’re not going to boil them too, are you?

Or you could wait until tomorrow - it’s going to be in the 50’s in OH.

 

[Mikhail]

Tomorrow might be oxtails and lamb shanks outside. But we have family and friends coming tonight. Plenty of ribs in the freezer.

It's only blasphemy if they are boiled.

 

[Mikhail]

That's about right. I would never do such a thing.

I have an instant pot, but I've not been a big fan of pressure cooking meats that really need low and slow.

My wife grew up on oven ribs. I don’t mind cooking those for her at all. Oven at 300*
Pull membrane
Season liberally both sides
Place meat side of seasoned ribs on foil
Add a shot glass of liquid (Jack Daniels Apple works great) as well tea coffee beer etc
Wrap tightly
Place in oven 2 hours
Remove from oven, glaze finish over coals or under broiler (I’ve never used broiler but she has)


They’re actually good and works quite well with the lean BabyBack Ribs


I tried it once or twice with spares and they fell apart. Not a bad thing if it’s what you’re looking for. It wasn’t

 

[Mikhail]

I 'm using Maylar's recipe, but bumped the temp up to 275. Won't make much difference.

 

[Mikhail]

Maylar, that recipe is turning out very well. Now I am in the saucing and hot phase. Glazing nicely. Using Montgomery Inn, the Korean BBQ and Sweet Baby Ray's original on three different sections.

 

[Mikhail]

Turned out excellent. Miss the smoke ring a little but they were delicious and had just the right soft bite to come off the bone clean, not fall off.

Looks great. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do!

 

[Gimmethecash]

Looks like you made the most of the situatIon.

 

[BGEChicago]

Mik,

No shame there! They look great!

Thanks,
Greg

 

[Stingerhook]

Nice looking cook sir.

 

[Mikhail]

BUT... tomorrow we will be almost 60 again so will probably fire up the PK or the Open Range. Oxtails maybe, or a meat loaf.

Missing smoke. I even (pearl clutching moment to come...) sprinkled the racks with liquid smoke and rubbed it in. It did not a thing to the flavor.

Ribs look great, nothing wrong with utilizing alternative cooking methods when the weather does not want to cooperate.

Maybe being able to make killer ribs in the oven shows off your skills that much more? Great color on the slabs!
