    💭 Tips

    • Blot ribs with a paper towel before adding to the hot skillet to prevent butter from splattering out of the pan.
    • For the most fork-tender meat, be sure to
    • Any tougher cut of meat needs to be slow cooked in order for the fibrous tissues to break down, making the meat tender. Therefore, feel free to cook the ribs in a slow cooker instead of the oven. Just transfer the seared ribs from the pot along with the sauce to a slow cooker and cook on low 6-8 hours.

      When placing ribs back in pot do you put them in meat side up or down?

        Hi John, I would put them in meat side up and you can spoon the glaze over the ribs periodically. Thanks for the question, I'll be sure to address it in my next post update! Shelby

      If the temperature is already at 325 what do you lower it to when you take off the lid?
