That is EXACTLY what I was going to say... and I have had to make them in the oven before.

I'd skip the foil. Put in a separate pan in the bottom some water to add moisture to the air.

After 2 1/2 hours or so, check to make sure the ribs aren't browning too much. If they start to get too brown, THEN wrap them in foil.

That's my 2 cents.

I've got some going in the crock pot right now.

for shame...


threads like this make me cry myself to sleep at night.

i cooked them at 250 for 2 hrs, then after your post another 1hr 30 min at 225..

I just put on a dry rub and wrapped them in tinfoil, no liquid

not as good as the real thing, but fall off the bone tender, very tasty for almost no effort...would have been good to char them for a sec, but I was too hungry at that point

thanks everyone..
