FAQs
1. How do I ensure my ribs are juicy and tender?
Low and slow cooking is key! Use a low temperature (around 225°F) for several hours to break down the collagen and render the fat, resulting in incredibly juicy and tender ribs.
2. What's the best type of ribs to use?
Baby back ribs and St. Louis-style ribs are both popular choices. Baby backs are smaller and more tender, while St. Louis ribs are meatier and have more surface area for flavor.
3. How do I know when my ribs are done?
The ribs should be tender enough to pull apart easily with your fingers. The meat should also be slightly pulling away from the bone. A meat thermometer can help, aiming for an internal temperature of around 200-205°F.
