Does anyone know how to guarantee moist back pork ribs in a slow cooker?

[Slingblade1126]

I’ve only made them twice in a slow cooker, while they are tender, they tend to be very dry. I usually add two cups of water. Recipes I’ve read call for bbq sauce but no one likes it on their ribs, so I don’t use it. Any suggestions?

You needcto remove the membrane on the back of the ribs and brine them for about an hour or two, after they're btined i put a rub on them and wrap them in saran wrap and putting the fridge for 24 hours then slow cooker them at about 225°F on the BBQ indirect heat turning and rotating them every half hour for about 2 to 3.5 hours until the meat starts to pull back from the ends of the rib bones. They're always juicy and very tender never had dry meat on them yet

By using water you're braising them and that drys them out, they're not meant to be braised you need to protect them by brining and cooking them with indirect dry heat

That sounds like what I’m looking for! Any suggestions on a rub? I also think I’ve been overcooking them after reading comments.

I make my own rub, Google it you'll find some options. Sorry I can't type worth crap on this tiny phone keyboard.

Throw your slow cooker away and get a smoker!

I've just looked on Google and there appears to be many very useful You Tube videos... Maybe it might be worth looking at!

I have, so far none have worked. I tried aluminum foil when they’re half done, I’ve tried searing them, three minutes each side. It seems the only thing that guarantees moist ribs, is bbq sauce. I will give it another look though. Thanks. Last time I made them, I slow cooked them in the oven. They were moist but tough as leather! Lol I think I’ll just make steak.

Thank you for the MHO.

No one likes bbq sauce. Otherwise I think that would guarantee moist ribs. It’s unfortunate.

Well first of all bbq sauce should be an afterthought, secondly it sounds like your heat is too high.

[Slingblade1126]

I could be overcooking them! Good point. I cook them on low for five hours.

Give it rest time in between cooking sessions
