This was the best ribs I ever made!!!! Love Love Love it!!!!

The best ribs I ever ate were my Grandmothers. They were boiled then baked. They were fall off the bone tender with a crispy crust that had the most delicious flavor on its own. Gram said that the reason you boil the pork was to take out the impurities, stuff added in processing. She said that fresh meat didn't have to have that done.

Really Allen Louisiana ? The best TENDER ribs are always boiled then baked and to top it off, on to the grill for a quick BQ Punch. That's the way it's best. Just like the use of a capital L when spelling Louisiana. Dutch oven? boiling is boiling. dutch or no dutch.

I think everyone has a Dutch oven if you're a serious cooker. Doesn't anyone like to eat their ribs off the bones, BBQ sauce on your fingers and half of your face - some on your shirt?

"Fall off the bone tender" isn't fun. Ya gotta cook them properly to just before that "fall off the bone" point. I never boil my ribs but cook them slow and low in the oven then transfer them to the grill.....being as how my husband is the griller and burns every thing.

I boil to remove fat and grease. But oven baking with a dry rub puts on the best flavor. Either way finish on the grill with the sauce. Anybody tried boil and dry rub baked combo then finish of the grill?

I always boil my ribs with spices. Usually onion powder and cayenne pepper for a couple of hours (2-3) before BBQ them in the oven and summer time grilling.
They turn out tender and the family loves them.

Why boil your ribs? If you use baby back ribs and season with whatever you like garlic salt etc. place in the oven on 250°F for one hour remove, pour off grease, coat with bar b cue sauce raise temp. to 375°F and bake for another 45 minutes to one hour, depending on how crispy you want. I've done this several times always comes out very tender.

If you ever had a fund raiser for a baseball or football team you will break out the crawfish huge pots and jet burners and boil the ribs and chicken then place the cooked meat on the grill for a wonderful bbq flame taste and no one will get sick because they are cooked before they hit the grill. I have had to cook for fund raisers and competition and if your boil is right all is delicious. I have never put a onion or a bell pepper in the boil so I tried this and yummy.

I don't know why I keep trying to make ribs because they always turn out tough... UNTIL NOW! This was the best recipe ever. I will use it for scouting camp trips for the rest of my life. I cooked the ribs in my slow cooker with the vinegar and water. I added a bay leaf broken in half, garlic powder, and dried onions (I did not have peppers and onions). After an hour on high and 5 hours on low, I took them out and put them in the fridge over night. The next night, I basted them with bbq sauce and grilled them over low heat, flipping three times and then basting with more sauce. I knew they were done when the bones that fell out were hot. Everyone loved them and were sad there were not more. I am a leader on a campout at the beach next weekend and can't wait to impress everyone with these while they are eating the usual fair of easy mac or cup o noodle!

I just finished making this recipe and the ribs were so soft they fell off the bone. Oh yummy so yummy

Mom always said boil your ribs! Makes them very tender, and they come right off the bone. Try it once, then finish them off with your own special recipe and you'll never do it differently again!

I always boil my ribs before I bake or grill them and they are very tender.

Never would have thought of boiling ribs. Doesn't sound quite right, but I am willing to give it a try before I say nay... just not today.

I think everyone I know has one. If not, their neighbor does. But why would you ever boil ribs? Bob should have his dutch oven taken away.

A Dutch oven is just a big cooking pot with a tight fitting lid.
