How to Cook Pork Shoulder Ribs

How to Cook Pork Shoulder Ribs



  • Pork shoulder ribs, or country style ribs, are one of the easiest cuts of pork to cook. They are inexpensive, and lend themselves to slow cooking in a crock pot, a slow oven, or over indirect coals on the barbecue.
INGREDIENTS :
Crock pot, oven-proof pan or barbecue
Barbecue sauce, optional
Rub, optional
Salt and pepper

PREPARATIONS:
  • Get out the crock pot, and plug it in. There is no need to preheat the crock pot. Rub the ribs with salt, pepper, or any other spice or herb rub you like.
  • Turn the crock pot to low if you have all day to cook them, or high if you want them done in three to four hours. Put the ribs in the crock pot, and make sure it's tightly covered.
  • Use a fork to see if the ribs are tender. The meat should separate when you insert the fork. If you want to finish them on the barbecue, you might not want to cook them until they are falling apart fork-tender. When they are too tender, it's hard to brush the sauce on them, and they will fall apart when you put them on the grill.
  • Plate them to take to the grill, or serve plain. If you want to grill them, bring the barbecue sauce and brush out with you, and apply the sauce with a brush. Grill to what is your perfection.
  • Baking Pork Shoulder Ribs
  • Turn the oven on to 325 degrees. Rub the ribs with salt and pepper or any spice rub that you enjoy.
  • Put the ribs in an oven-safe pan and cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 90 minutes, and check to make sure they are getting tender. As in crock pot cooking described in Section 1, if you intend to put them on a grill with sauce, pull them out before they are too tender, and plate them to take to the grill.
TIPS AND WARNINGS :

  • You can buy boneless pork shoulder ribs, but the bones add a great deal of flavor to the meat.
  • Make sure you wash your hands with warm water and soap after handling raw meat. Never use the same plate that had raw meat on it to put the cooked ribs on unless you wash the plate with warm, soapy water.
