How Long Do You Cook Pork Baby Back Ribs

Pork Baby Back ribs are a firm favourite and for very good reason. Packed full of flavour and further enhanced through seasonings and Hickory Smoked BBQ Pork flavourings (a favourite of mine) these little finger sized ribs are very tender and succulent but exactly how long do you cook pork baby back ribs for?

The most common way of preparing baby back pork ribs is to boil the ribs for around 45 mintutes in boiling water. This in effect further tenderises the ribs and cooks them through. Once cooked, drained and cooled (they are best left overnight in the refrigerator) they will then requiring roasting in a hot oven.

Place the ribs into an appropriate ovenproof dish and cover with tin foil and cook at around 250 degrees for 3 hours. Once cooled, it is now time to add your seasonings whether that is via some form of tasty sauce spread over the ribs or dry seasoning which ever you will then need to place the ribs under the a medium grill for around 4 minutes or until they are slightly crispy (but not burnt!).

If you are using a sauce take care when grilling your pork ribs that the heat setting is moderate and not too hot otherwise you will simply burn the sauce leaving the ribs underneath slightly soggy.

Quite a protracted process I know, to get the ribs to the grill, but well worth the effort!
