Regularly Requested Questions
I’ve by no means made gradual cooker ribs with out slicing them aside, so I can’t say from expertise. That mentioned, a number of readers have reported leaving the racks partially intact, so appears to be an choice. I might regulate them as they prepare dinner since they could want a bit longer to prepare dinner if not minimize into particular person ribs.
If (like me) you neglect to thaw your meat forward of time, don’t fear. Crockpot ribs can nonetheless be in your (close to) future. Right here’s how one can thaw ribs rapidly and safely.
Maintain your ribs of their packaging or in a sealed ziptop bag. Fill a big bowl with chilly water, and submerge your ribs within the water, including one thing on high of them to maintain them from floating to the highest.
Depart the ribs for about half-hour, then examine to see if they’re thawed. If they’re nonetheless frozen, drain the water and refill with contemporary chilly water.
No, don’t place frozen ribs in a crockpot. Frozen meat will start to thaw within the gradual cooker and will spend too lengthy at room temperature, rendering it unsafe to eat.

Sure. Imagine it or not, you possibly can overcook ribs in a gradual cooker. That’s why I like to recommend cooking them low and gradual and keeping track of them in direction of the top. You’re in search of meat that’s tender and comes off the bone with gentle stress.
Rinse the rack of ribs and pat them dry. In case your ribs nonetheless have the skinny, shiny membrane on the again, take away it. (That is simple, don’t fear!) Flip to the again of the ribs over, meat-side down. Wiggle a uninteresting knife (corresponding to a butter knife) between the membrane and the ribs to loosen it. With a paper towel, grip the membrane and pull it away, then discard.
This permits your spice rub or sauces to penetrate the meat and in addition helps the meat turn out to be tender.
