This is the only rib recipe I will use from now on. The ribs are so moist and tender. When taking out of the foil I grabbed a rib with the tongs and it came straight out. We joked that our dogs don't even clean the bones that well... I sprinkled a little garlic powder before I brushed on the bbq sauce. Other than that I followed recipe exactly. When they were done we didn't even add extra bbq sauce. They were perfect... Thanks for a wonderful recipe BrendaM.

    These weren't exactly "fall off the bone", but they were VERY tender, with a little "snap" to them...just the way they should be! This was 1st time I've used this method & I'll be using it from now on, BUT...I like my ribs with a little smoke, so after I took them out from the oven, I put them in the smoker/grill with some hickory chips...PERFECT!!! THANKS for sharing!!!

    This is by far the best recipe I have ever tried that results in tender moist ribs. It is the only way that I will do my ribs from now on. I have my own recipes for ribs on Zaar that give different instructions than this for cooking and they are very good recipes but I say use this cooking method - it is fool proof and the best I have ever tried or.want!. I have done them in the oven at 300 for two hours and then finished them on the BBQ . You really have to watch if you BBQ because the under part can burn (mine came close) Have low heat and distance from the heat source. If you cook them in the oven and want to finish them there just open up the foil 15 minutes before serving and have them 12" from the broiler. What I like is that I can cook the ribs to almost done - even let them cool and then finish them on the BBQ or in the oven like a master chef for 15 minutes- Brenda I can honestly say this is the easiest, best way I have ever done ribs thank-you --

    Been using this method for years, I made ribs last week and thought of posting the recipe. Being a good girl I did a search first on Zaar and then discovered that you, my dear Brenda, had already posted it. So here are my 5 stars for this foolproof method of cooking ribs that fall off the bone and are soo easy to make! Like to add that I always use a plain barbeque sauce and jazz that up myself with spices, garlic and hot sauce. And also that I line the baking tray with foil. One time one of the packets leaked and it was quite a job to get the tray cleaned up. Thanks Bren!!
