Rated 1 out of 5 by jeff.cornelius from I just made these ribs, exactly as outlined in the recipe. I just made these ribs, exactly as outlined in the recipe. My advice, DON'T DO IT... as in don't boil the ribs. I heavily seasoned my water, just to try and impart more flavor into the meat. Epic fail. The BBQ Sauce was good, but once you get past the outer layer, all you taste is boiled ribs. Not great! My recommendation - having done ribs quite successfully over the years - is to take the same recipe and slow cook the ribs on a 225 degree BBQ (indirect heat) for 3 - 3.5 hours. Use a good spice rub, and throw in some hickory or applewood chips for some extra flavor (and smoke). Your ribs will be fall of the bone fantastic... not a boiled failure. I will not make these ribs according to this recipe ever again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by kldolan from The sweet/tangy mix is good! The sweet/tangy mix is good! As an alternative to boiling which I also don't like, I chop the rack into manageable chunks for serving, then i put my ribs in a pan with 1/2 cup of water and cover tightly with foil. I bake at 375 for 45 min for a rack, then turn the oven off and let them sit for 30 min steaming. It will help to precook and it renders a lot of the fat out of them without drying them out. If you do a rub, put it on before you do this to help cook it into the meat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by endonurse2 from I'm telling you guys, you should try boiling the ribs first. I'm telling you guys, you should try boiling the ribs first. I know it sounds awful but makes the ribs fall off the bone tender. I hate boiling anything also but in this case, this is the exception. We do ribs often, many different ways. Oven, low and slow on the grill and boiling before grilling. The boiling before grilling is always the best.
