How long to put ribs in oven? ›

Larger, fattier ribs need to be cooked longer than baby backs. Shoot for around 2 hours at 350 degrees if the ribs are uncovered, as in our Barbecued Pork Ribs. If wrapped in foil, the ribs can go for up to 3 hours at 300°F degrees, or crank the oven up to 400 degrees for a briefer baking time—1.5 to 2 hours.

Cover the ribs tightly with foil then bake for 3-1/2 hours at 250 degrees. If your rack of ribs is larger than 3lbs, add an additional 30 minutes baking time per additional 1/2 — 1lb ribs. For example, bake a 3 — 4lb rack of ribs for 4 hours.

Fill a small baking pan two-thirds full with cold water and place on the lowest rung in the oven. This helps to keep the ribs moist during the lengthy cooking time.

Knowing when they're done: It seems that we've all been fed the line that ribs are not done until they fall off the bone, when really, if these ribs reach that point they are overcooked. Cook until a knife slides easily into the meat.

It might be necessary to turn the rack around to get an even sear on the top surface of the ribs, but don't worry about flipping them over. You are only crusting the top surface.

Set oven to 400 degrees while blending rub. Roast baby back ribs for 50 minutes and spareribs for 80 minutes. Open up foil pouch to release steam (don't get your face too close) and thickly spread on the BBQ sauce (on both sides if possible.)

How Long To Cook Baby Back Ribs. Baby back ribs should be cooked for four hours at 275°F or until they are tender.

The best, most fool-proof way to make sure that your ribs are fall off the bone tender is to bake them, covered, at a low temperature in your oven. We bake our ribs in a 275°F oven for two to three hours. It is this simple method that guarantees tender ribs!

We like the method this recipe uses, which is to put the barbecue sauce on the ribs after they're boiled — but before they go in the oven. This will allow the ribs to get all the barbecue flavor while the sauce bakes into the ribs.

What liquid do you put in foil for ribs? ›

The idea is to cook the meat most of the way, then seal the meat tightly in foil with just a little water, juice, wine, or beer. Apple juice is popular. Some people add margarine and sugars like honey or agave. The liquid mixes with the juices that drip from the meat and gently braises the meat.

You may, if desired, spritz or mop your ribs while smoking with a liquid of your choice. Apple juice or cider, butter, Dr. Pepper, apple cider vinegar, beer… there are plenty of options.

The best temperature to bake ribs is typically around 275°F to 300°F (135°C to 150°C). Cooking ribs at this temperature allows them to cook low and slow, which helps break down the tough connective tissues and makes the meat tender and juicy.

Quick tip: When the “knuckle” of the third rib bone begins to poke through the back of the rib, the ribs are finished.

Your ideal temperature may be up above 200 degrees F to get them to completely fall off the bone, in which case you'll want a bit of BBQ sauce to compensate for some of the lost moisture.

Preheat oven to 350° F. Remove the ribs from the package(s) and wrap with foil. (To prevent sticking, spray foil lightly with cooking spray.) Place the wrapped ribs on a rimmed cookie sheet and place in the oven for 15 minutes.

Once the oven has heated to 300°F, place the pan of ribs (uncovered) in the oven. If cooking Baby Back Ribs, roast the ribs for 1½-2 hours. If cooking Spare Ribs, roast for 2½-3 hours. Halfway through cooking, cover the ribs with aluminum foil to keep them from getting dry.

Prep your ribs as you normally would dry rub or sauce. Place on a large sheet of Aluminum foil and wrap tight so as to hold in the juices while cooking. Bake at 225 degrees for a minimum of 6 hours.
