Food and Drink Marinating ribs in coca cola - Page 3

**RealSNR** · 12-09-2010, 11:41 PM

Somebody told me to do this. Anyone ever try it?

You season the ribs with whatever you want, (dry rubs probably work best) and then let the ribs sit in a bowl of coke for a few hours. They're ready to go after that.

I guess you don't taste the coke at all, and it really does a phenomenal job of tenderizing the meat.

You should put it in one of those turkey bags.

If you don't feel like babysitting the roux, it works in the oven, as well. It takes longer, but no stirring.

It doesn't smoke like the dickens? Seems like it would.

I just cheat and use vegetable oil, rather than butter. Cooks quite quick, fast enough I don't get bored or drunk and wander away.

Coke or pepsi work, but I always marinate my meat in a nice IPA. Ribs, brisket, my liver...

Funny, I put coffee in my spaghetti sauce. Delicious...

Why are you marinating ribs? Save the money spent on soda and buy beer!

So have you actually tried grilling green onions? I don't think you have by your comments of "shrivel up into nothing" and "ruining them."

I think you should try them before making such stupid statements...thats all I am saying...

I mean its not like a green onion is SO different from a regular onion...You ever grilled a regular onion?

I can't honestly tell if you are being sarcastic or just stupid...

Heres the 1st recipe I found on google:

You guys throw them right on, or use the foil method like MoHillbilly suggested?

Fail. You boil meat to make soup not tenderize it. If you know how to BBQ ribs there is ZERO call for boiling them. None.

If I missed your sarcasm, my bad.

I throw em right on but like you toss them in olive oil...The foil method im sure would be great too -- I do asparagus like that......They would come out more tender and even less crunchy...So I think it kind of depends on what youre going for...

I'd say throw them directly on (after a rub of olive oil, of course)

the foil method is for chopped items or things that could fall apart or need to cook longer (carmelizing yellow onions, grilling fish, etc). A quick on and off to get grill marks would probably do the trick. As Phobia said, grilling them for 10 minutes in foil might not get you the desired results.
