  • Question
    What color should beef ribs be when done?
    Community Answer
    The outside of the ribs will be brown. The inside color can range from pink to white, depending on how rare or well-done you like meat to be prepared.
  • Question
    Should I cut the ribs apart before baking or leave the slab whole?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how much time you have and how you want the ribs to be served. Cutting the ribs apart will reduce the cooking time, but the appearance of a slab of ribs may be more elegant.
  • Question
    Can I freeze ribs after they've been cooked?
    Community Answer
    Of course! They may not taste quite the same after they're thawed out, but they are nutritionally sound in the freezer for a week or two, if not longer. if preserving quality is most important, just refrigerate for up to 3 days, and reheat in the oven.
  • Question
    How does smoke get to the meat if they're wrapped in foil?
    Community Answer
    The top part of the foil is not wrapped tight like it would be in the oven. That way the smoke can permeate the ribs but not be overpowering.
  • Question
    What if I don't have foil?
    Community Answer
    Put the ribs in an oven pan with a tight lid and cook on low for the 3 hours; if not tender, let them cook a little longer.
