Preparing spare ribs

When you prepare spare ribs, remember to remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Then season the ribs with your favorite dry rub or marinade, and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.
Spare ribs are sold in the supermarket either as a rack or as individual ribs. You can also find them pre-seasoned or marinated, but buying them unseasoned enables you to do your own marinade! My favorite marinade is 1/3 honey 1/3 mustard 1/3 Worcestershire sauce.

Cooking spare ribs in an oven

Cooking spare ribs in an oven. Baking spare ribs is a simple and easy method that produces juicy and tender meat.
1. Take the meat out out the refrigerator at least 30 minutes ahead of baking. You can marinate the meat during that time (my favorite is honey, mustard and Worcestershire sauce). Season the ribs and place them in an oven-safe dish.
2. Preheat the oven at 360°F (180°C).
3. Cook for 45 minutes. Remember to turn the ribs halfway through.

Smoking spare ribs over low heat for a long period of time creates a tender and smoky flavor.
1.Preheat your smoker to 225-250°F (110-120°C).
2. Prepare your ribs: trim the ribs and use a dry rub on them. I usually mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, ground mustard and paprika)

Cooking spare ribs with a slow cooker

Slow-cooking spare ribs in a crockpot or slow-cooker produces fall-off-the-bone tender meat.
1. Prepare your ribs: trim them. Add them to your slow cooker (or crockpot) and cover with sauce. I tend to use Barbecue sauce (store bought, the cheap version) that I make better by adding mustard, garlic powder, water and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Cook the ribs on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until they’re fully cooked.

Spare ribs are a cut of meat from the lower portion of the pig’s ribcage (from the belly or side of the pig). They are a meaty and flavorful cut, with layers of fat and meat running throughout.
