Boiled Ribs!?

Doc_Eggerton

Watching Diner, Drive-Ins, and Dives.  What the heck; baby back ribs simmered for two hours and then coated in sauce.  Yuk.

I used to resort to boiling ribs, before I got an Egg.

Disgusting.  And keep the brats out of the liquid too, please.

My sister  boils her ribs and everytime I facepalm and say no thanks I'm not hungry because they are always tough and rubbery.  I tried to teach her low and slow but she is hard headed.

If you started boiling ribs when this thread started, they would just be getting good now.

There's nothing like an ice cold Zima and a plate of boiled ribs.

Just noticed this was a resurrection. Sorry. 

Legume

Haha, I thought you knew and were just punctuating that with the Zima reference.  Made me laugh.

She's not boiling them long enough.

Braised ribs in a flavorful liquid until tender and then sauced and finished under a broiler are quite good. I used to do this all the time pre-BGE and they were fantastic. My definition for fantastic has changed now that I've made them in the egg. 

I don't know that I'd ever make them that way before, but before I could afford my egg, it was better than nothing!

Without ANY drama I did an indirect rib cook yesterday.  Dome temp went above 300 ONCE while usually closer to 280, and indirect, at that.

Maybe 4 1/2 hours on the grill in a standing rib rack holding onlly 4 slabs.  

Fall-off-the-bone tender without being boiled/mushy.
