| 995.10 | TENDER RIBS | MAUDIB::ALEJANDRO |  | Thu Jan 22 1987 17:19 | 4 | 
|  |     I MIGHT SUGGEST THAT YOU BOIL THE RIBS IN A LARGE POT WITH A CUP
    OR TWO OF THE SAUCE FIRST AND ENOUGH WATER TO COVER THE RIBS. BOIL
    THEM FOR ALEAST AN HOUR OR MORE BEFORE YOU BAKE THEM...IT WILL MAKE
    THEM A LOT MORE TENDER.

| 995.11 | Don't boil them | OURVAX::JEFFRIES |  | Mon Jan 26 1987 15:50 | 17 | 
|  |     I don't understand why people boil ribs.  I have been cooking ribs
    for over twenty years, and I have never boiled them, nor have I
    had them anything but tender.  Why would you want to boil away flavor.
    The secret to tender ribs is to cook them long and slow. Season
    them well with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and a little white vinigar.
    let them set over night. If cooking in the oven, cook at 325 F for
    about 2 hours, turn two or three times.  Now brush them well with
    your favorite sauce and cook them for another hour, brush with sauce
    again and cook for 1/2 hour more.  Now brush with sauce again .
    (Be sure the ribs are left as a slab, while they are cooking.) Now
    cut up and serve.  
    If cooking on the grill, use the indirect heat method, sorry you
    can't do this on a gas grill. To do this, you should have a Weber
    or something like it. Start the coals and when they are white, move
    them to the sides of the grill and put the ribs in the center with
    a drip pan, add 5 or 6 coals to each side every 1/2 hour. Cover
    and let it do the rest.

	Try adding the green sucker shoots from an apple tree (the 
	little branches that grow out in places where you wouldn't 
	want big branches) to the coals.  I think it tastes better
	than hickory smoke.

| 995.13 | Ribs, the easy way | MAHLER::ABIS | Go away snow! | Tue Feb 03 1987 09:50 | 20 | 
|  |     For those of you with a kettle type barbecue (Webber is one name
    brand), cooking ribs is a cinch.  I use a rib rack made by Webber
    that lets you cook the ribs standing up instead of lying down on
    the grill (this is lets you cook a lot more ribs).  It is also
    important that you use the indirect heating method pictured below:
    
    
    			| _ _ _ _ ribs _ _ _ _ |        
                        |                      |
                        |       drip pan       |
                        |coals \________/ coals|
                        ------------------------
    
    Using this method, I take the ribs out of the package, put them
    on the grill, after 50 minutes I add my favorite BBQ sauce , and then
    cook another 10 minutes (total cooking time 1 hour).  What could
    be simpler?

| 995.5 | Another BBQ Sauce for Ribs/EASY!!!! | THOTH::MCNEIL |  | Wed Mar 23 1988 10:34 | 26 | 
|  |     Heres one to try........
    
    Sauce
    ------
    
    16 oz. tomato sauce
    Lrg bottle of A1 sauce
    1/3 cup of brown sugar
    1 Tbsp honey
    
    Just pour it all in a sauce pan and simmer for 1/2 hour.  
    
    In the winter, I boil upthe ribs first then coat them with this
    sauce and broil them....then serve them with egg noodles topped
    with the same sauce.  So far, no complaints. 
    
    And this sauce can stay in a tupperware container for WEEKS and
    never spoil.
    
    I use it on EVERYTHING.  Chicken, Steak Tips, Pork, and somtimes
    just to add flavor to regular old egg noodles for a side dish.
    
    Its so easy!!!  Hope you like it.

| 995.8 | 995.6 again with clarification | MGOBLU::KENNEDY | destination unknown | Fri Mar 25 1988 12:55 | 45 | 
|  |     Sorry for the us of *special* (8-bit) characters in .6 -- I just pulled
    it out of my other file and didn't think that some people not being
    able to read them.  I'll try to remember to avoid them in the future. 
    
    anyway, here's the recipe from 995.6 in full with special characters
    removed: 
    Barbeque Sauce: 					Makes 3 Cups
    --------------
    Ingredients:
	1 cup	molasses		2 tbsp	butter/oleo
	1 cup	catsup			6	whole cloves
	1 cup	chopped onion		1 tsp	Worcestershire
	2/3 cup	orange juice		1 tsp	prepared mustard
	1/2 cup	brown sugar		1/2 tsp	salt
	1 tbsp	orange peel		1/2 tsp pepper
	2 tbsp	vinegar			1/2 tsp	ginger
	2 tbsp	veg. oil		1/2 tsp tobasco
	2 tbsp	A1
    Combine all of the above (or what you happen to have at the time)
    in a sauce pot, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes.
    Notes:
	o good on chicken or spare ribs, also on or mixed-in hamburgers
	  (I use it instead of water when making Lipton's Onion Soup burgers)
	o best if heated before applying to meat (that way the oils,
	  which tend to separate, mix easier).
	o (with this particular BBQ sauce) it's best to cook chicken
	  and ribs partially before applying the sauce.  With its
	  tomato base, the sauce tends to burn easily if directly 
	  over an open flame, or exposed directly to heat a long time.
	  For example, I BBQ chicken for 30-40 minutes, and flip the 
	  pieces every 5 minutes.  I don't start applying BBQ sauce
	  until after the chicken has cooked 10-20 minutes, but then
	  apply it LIBERALLY every time I flip.  A 3-4 inch paint brush 
          works well for application.
	o keeps very well in the fridge.

|  |     To help D! with her enormous pot of 5-spice; Barbequed ribs, chinese
    style.
    
    Soy sauce		About 8 tbs
    Hoisin sauce	About 2 tbs
    Rice wine vinegar or dry sherry, about 1 tbs
    2 cloves garlic	crushed
    1/2" ginger		Very finely minced or crushed
    5-spice powder	About 1 dessert spoon
    Honey		1 tbs, optional
    Sugar		About 1 tbs, interchange with honey
    Salt		to taste
    Pork		Ribs, steaks, chops, whatever. About 3 lbs.
    
    Mix together the marinade to taste, add pork leave in fridge for a day
    or so, then barbeque.
    
    If my wife has made barbeque sauce, I generally use that to baste the
    pork when barbequeing. Otherwise I drain the marinade and reduce it to
    a thick sauce with which I then baste the pork. The nice thing about
    this recipe is that if you don't feel like barbequeing the pork, you   
    simply whack it in the oven and roast it; again using reduced marinade 
    to baste the pork. I also prefer to use pork chops/steaks.
