  • Remove from oven.

Cooking Ribs In The Oven

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place ribs on their sides in a pot or bowl with high sides.*
  • Fill the bottom of the pot with about 1 inch of water.
  • Place an airtight lid on top of your pot or seal completely with tin foil so that no steam can escape.
  • Cook for 1 hour and a half.
  • Shut the oven off and allow the ribs to cool as the oven cools down.
  • Place the ribs on a lined cookie sheet. Smoother, one side at a time with BBQ sauce.
  • Broil each side, allowing the BBQ sauce to caramelize.

Notes

*If your pot/bowl is not long enough to fit your ribs, you may need to cut them in half.
