I have 2-3 lbs of baby back ribs that I just want to toss in a covered casserole dish with some BBQ sauce and put in the oven for a couple of hours, then uncover for a little time longer.
What temperature should I set the oven on? 350-375?
I would cook them at a lower temp for that long and then uncover at 350 to crisp up the sauce. I put just a tiny bit of sauce and water in with my ribs on like 275 at first for several hours to let them get tender and then turn up the heat for about 30 minutes right before serving so they get crispier. I actually serve my sauce on the side though.
OK- thanks! I'm too tired to deal with myy grill tonight so I just stuck them in the oven. I'll put it a little higher than 275 so I won't be 9:30-10:00 tonight eating dinner. I just put them in the oven so I can take my time getting some potatoes ready- I'm only going to open a can of french style green beans and have garlic toast with it but that will be plenty for me to eat on a while.
So- I put them in around 6:00, on 280, for 2 hours. I should be able to eat around 8:30-8:45 which is fine- I have a bad habit of eating late- I just wanted to be finished by 9:30.
OK, don't start throwing things at me, but I boil my ribs - for about an hour. Then I drain, pour on the sauce, and heat just long enough to warm the sauce. ALWAYS tender.
I usually cook mine without sauce but with a tiny bit of Allegro marinade brushed on, with foil over them, for about 3.5 hours at 250, then brush heavily with sauce and up the temp to 400 for 20 minutes...
Yes, Mam, you are! I'm starting to smell it now and so are the dogs....who, by the way, are stalking the kitchen and intermittently coming to me with big, pitiful eyes. It's nothing too fancy for dinner but I was in the mood for it.
