BABY BACK RIBS (SLOW COOKER)



Baby Back Ribs (Slow Cooker) image

These baby back ribs might not be bathed in smoke, but they still a lot of flavor. This slow cooked recipe will give you a great set of ribs even if can't prepare it outdoors.

Provided by CHEF GRPA

Categories     Australian

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lbs pork baby back ribs
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat from ribs. Combine dry ingredients and rub over the surface of the ribs. Place ribs in slow cooker or Crock-Pot standing on their edge with the meaty side out. Cook for about 8 hours. Remove ribs from slow cooker and brush with barbecue sauce.
  • My Note: THE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENTLY WAS THAT I TURNED OFF THE SLOW COOKER AND I REMOVED THE RIBS. I PLACED THEM ONTO A FLAT TRAY LINED WITH FOIL, WITH MINIMAL JUICE FROM THE SLOW COOKER. I PRE-HEATED THE OVEN TO 380 AND I BRUSHED THE RIBS WITH SWEET RAYS BBQ SAUCE ( WE LOVE THIS BBQ SAUCE) AND WE BAKED THEM FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO FIRM THEM UP A BIT AND GLAZE THEM. THEY WERE AWESOME.
  • First, we cooked for 6.5 hours on low, and the ribs came out moist and falling off the bone tender. Any longer, and they would have not have held together. Second, we also coated lightly in BBQ sauce when they came out, and then put them under the broiler for 7 minutes. That way, the outside was crispy and BBQ-like, but the inside was moist and so, so, tender. When we make again, we'll take them out after 6 hours, which is plenty on low! My wife said they are the best she's ever had, and my mother-in-law wanted the recipe!

CROCKPOT BABY BACK RIBS WITH POTATOES AND VEGGIES



Crockpot Baby Back Ribs With Potatoes and Veggies image

This is a really easy, delicious recipe for when it's to cold to do ribs on the grill and only uses your crockpot so you aren't dirtying a bunch of pots and pans! Another great thing is that this isn't a "set in stone" recipe. If you like red potatoes instead of yellow? Use them! You prefer a different bbq sauce or spice rub? Use it! NOTE: All seasonings are to taste. This site just makes me use measurements so I guessed there. I used McCormick Grill Mates Cowboy Rub for my "dry rub seasonings" it just wouldn't recognize it as a food.

The Amazing Crockpot Ribs:

Crockpot ribs are a favorite go-to meal for many people. They're easy to make, and the slow cooking process ensures that the meat is tender, juicy and fall-off-the-bone delicious. Whether you're hosting a BBQ, or just in the mood for some finger-licking-good ribs, the crockpot is the perfect tool for the job. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what makes these ribs so amazing, and provide some slow cooker baby back rib recipes that will have your taste buds dancing for joy.
The Benefits of Cooking Ribs in a Crockpot:
One of the biggest benefits of cooking ribs in a crockpot is the ease and convenience it provides. All you have to do is season your ribs, place them in the crockpot, and let them cook on low for several hours. This method of slow cooking allows the meat to become incredibly tender and juicy, without any effort on your part. Plus, it frees up your oven and stovetop for other dishes, making it a great option for entertaining. Another benefit of slow cooking is that it allows the flavors to meld together, making for an even more delicious end result. The longer the meat is cooked, the more the flavors become infused throughout, creating a rich, savory, and slightly smoky taste in every bite. The crockpot is also great for making larger quantities of ribs, making it perfect for feeding a crowd or meal prepping for the week ahead.
Choosing the Right Cut of Meat:
When it comes to making crockpot ribs, the cut of meat you use is an important consideration. The most common type of ribs used for slow cooking are baby back ribs, which come from the back loin of the pig. They're tender, flavorful, and relatively easy to find at most grocery stores. However, you can also use spare ribs, which come from the belly section and have more fat, meat, and bone. This type of rib takes longer to cook, but is also more flavorful and succulent. Whichever cut you choose, make sure to remove the silver skin before cooking, as it can make the meat tough and chewy.
Seasoning Your Ribs:
The key to making amazing crockpot ribs is in the seasoning. While there are many different spice rubs and marinades you can use, a simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder is always a winner. Add a touch of brown sugar and paprika for sweetness and smokiness, and you've got a mouth-watering seasoning blend that will make your ribs irresistible. To ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed, be sure to rub it into the meat on both sides. If you have time, let the ribs sit in the seasoning for a few hours or overnight in the fridge to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat even further.

Crockpot ribs are the perfect meal for cookouts, game days, or any occasion that calls for delicious, tender ribs. Making the perfect crockpot ribs can be a challenge, even for experienced cooks. However, with the right tips and techniques, you can create amazing crockpot ribs that will amaze and delight. Here are some valuable tips for making delicious crockpot ribs.

Tip #1: Choose the right cut of meat

Choosing the right cut of meat is crucial when it comes to making delicious crockpot ribs. Baby back ribs are a popular choice for slow cooking because they are tender, flavorful, and easy to work with. They have a good meat-to-bone ratio and cook quickly, making them ideal for crockpot cooking. However, spare ribs, beef ribs, and St. Louis-style ribs can also be cooked in a crockpot and are just as delicious. The key is to choose a cut of meat that is well-marbled, meaty, and has a good amount of fat to keep the meat tender and juicy.

Tip #2: Seasoning is key

Seasoning is an important part of making delicious crockpot ribs. Before cooking, it's essential to season your ribs with your favorite dry rub or marinade. You can use store-bought rubs or make your own using ingredients like paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Make sure to cover the ribs with the rub or marinade and massage it into the flesh. Let the ribs sit for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to penetrate.

Tip #3: Pre-cook the ribs

While it's tempting to throw everything into the crockpot and let it cook, pre-cooking the ribs can make a significant difference in the final result. Pre-cooking the ribs before adding them to the crockpot will not only kill any harmful bacteria but will also remove excess fat that can make your sauce greasy. To pre-cook the ribs, boil them in a large pot of water for a few minutes, then transfer them to the crockpot. This will also help to tenderize the meat, making it juicier and more flavorful.

Tip #4: Use a flavorful liquid

A flavorful liquid is essential to making delicious crockpot ribs. The liquid you use will create a steam that will help to cook the ribs and infuse them with flavor. Depending on the recipe, you can use anything from barbecue sauce to beer, broth, apple juice, or even soda. You can also mix and match flavors to create your own unique taste. Make sure to pour enough liquid into the crockpot to cover the ribs entirely and be generous with the amount you use.

Tip #5: Use the low setting

When it comes to crockpot cooking, low and slow is the way to go. Cooking the ribs on low heat for several hours will allow the meat to become tender and juicy while also allowing the flavors to meld together. Set your crockpot to low heat and cook the ribs for around 6-8 hours, depending on the recipe. Avoid raising the lid and peeking inside as it will let heat escape, prolonging the cooking time.

Tip #6: Finish on the grill or broiler

After the ribs are done cooking in the crockpot, it's time to finish them off on the grill or broiler. This step is optional but will give your ribs a crispy exterior and add a smoky flavor that will take them to the next level. Preheat your grill or broiler, remove the ribs from the slow cooker, and brush them with your favorite barbecue sauce. Grill or broil the ribs for a few minutes on each side until they are crispy and lightly charred.

Tip #7: Let them rest

Once the ribs are done, it can be tempting to dig in right away, but it's essential to let them rest before serving. Letting the ribs rest for a few minutes will allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful. Cover the ribs with aluminum foil and let them rest for around 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion

Making amazing crockpot ribs requires patience, attention to detail, and a little bit of know-how. By following these valuable tips, you can create delicious slow cooker baby back rib recipes that will wow your friends and family. Remember to choose the right cut of meat, season the ribs generously, pre-cook them to remove excess fat, use a flavorful liquid, set the crockpot to low heat, finish on the grill or broiler, and let the ribs rest before serving. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect crockpot ribs every time.
