We just added lots of BBQ sauce...from a jar because we were already eating them...and the sauce rescued the ribs, however, baby back are way better. I won't be using this recipe again either. The meat was tender and juicy and falling off the bones, but just cooking it right will do that. This recipe is a NO for our family too.Kris' Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15135658114728468080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450646654324117823.post-44869886600068444752011-06-10T19:17:49.967-07:002011-06-10T19:17:49.967-07:00I enjoyed reading both your reviews and agree that...I enjoyed reading both your reviews and agree that we can use this method of cooking ribs again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450646654324117823.post-91586810956948665962011-06-10T17:20:57.035-07:002011-06-10T17:20:57.035-07:00I had to smile at the thought of the guys defendin...I had to smile at the thought of the guys defending Dorie...

I couldn't even fathom turning on the oven this week, however. We are big rib lovers around here, too, so I'll have to try Dorie's cooking method with a different sauce - maybe leaving out the ginger or five spice powder?<br /><br />Thank you both so much for sharing your local favorites with me! I'm excited that over here in Phoenixville we are getting another bakery next to Iron Hill Brewery - hope they'll make some great bread. We also recently discovered Brown's Cow on Main Street and it has that incredible Bassett's ice cream.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770756660775231065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5450646654324117823.post-52695308333589176162011-06-10T12:44:24.867-07:002011-06-10T12:44:24.867-07:00I was actually shocked that the ginger and 5 Spice...I was actually shocked that the ginger and 5 Spice didn't turn my hubby off...he loved these.
