You should cook it on high for about 4 hours
it is not necessary to boil the ribs but by doing so the ribs won't take as long to cook and they will retain more of their moisture.
The ribs should be cooked with bone down.
About 3-4 hrs on high and 1-2hrs on low.or low for 8 hrs.
i use a pressure cooker to precook the ribs then they go to the grill to get that nice smoke flavor and crispy, last moment add the sauce, this way it will not burn the bbq sauce .(the pressure cooker is a must ). See the related link below.
Yes, if you are baking or roasting them they will over cook and begin to dry out if you cook them to long.
on the bbq
How long it takes to cook ribs on the BBQ grill depends on the grill flame and the desired outcome. This can take about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 3 hours and 30 minutes.
They use different types two popular types are mesquite and hickory
Anything can be cooked in a crockpot
You can, but tastes better in a conventional oven.
You saute or grill the ribs separately, then serve it with the separately made black bean sauce. If you want to serve them as one, then cook the ribs separately and then add them to the simmering sauce and simmer for a while.
I assume you are talking about pork ribs. There are several ways to cook ribs, but slowly is the common theme. I prefer to smoke them in a kettle grill, but one of the easiest and deliciously simple ways to cook them is in a crock pot or slow cooker. Pack your ribs into the cooker, add spices such as garlic powder, black pepper, a little salt, or whatever you like. Cover them up and set the cooker to between low and medium. Then you just wait a few hours. I have slow cooked ribs in this way for 4 to 5 hours. If they have bones in them, the bone should be loose in the meat to the point where the meat almost falls off by itself. The meat cooking will create it's own moisture so it's not necessary to add anything. However, for a little extra zing, you could add about a half cup or so of apple juice before cooking. I have also put apple slices on top of the ribs and let them infuse the ribs while they cook. If you like them with sauce, drain the liquid about an hour before done, add the sauce, and there you go - deliciousness! There are many options for spicing and flavoring ribs. It's just a matter of what you like. No matter what, using the slow cooker in this manner will produce good stuff. It is almost impossible to screw up! I'm in Wisconsin so I am using the indoor method almost exclusively now. However, when spring rolls around, we'll be firing up that kettle and there is no substitute for smoked ribs. I use apple wood and hickory. Sometimes by themselves, or sometimes a 50-50 mix. But that's an entirely new set of rules and procedures for another day. Remember.....LOW AND SLOW! Improving on answer: Bacon ribs ARE NOT Pork ribs. I find this is a common misconception amongst Austrlalians and Americans. Bacon Ribs are exactly what it says - BACON ribs, which are the ribs cut from a fletch of bacon after the bacon has been brined and cured. (Yes, I know bacon is pork which has been brined and cured in a particular way, which is exacly why bacon ribs are different from pork or spare ribs). to cook them, place them in cold water, bring water to the boil, boild for a minute or so then pour off water and refill with cold water again. repeat process. can be repeated a third time but not really necessary unless ribs are very salty. fill pot with cold water again, if wanted can put in onion and carrot for flavouring, bring to the boil, turn down heat and cook gently for 2-3 hours until cooked. stock can be used to make pea soup. ribs are usually served with cabbage but can also be served with mash. one can buy proper bacon ribs in Melbourne and parts of Sydney and from most continental deli's, but apparently not in Queensland. Cook and enjoy.
