OMGNEVER boil meatAll of the flavor is thrown out with the waterUse StLouis cut ribs if you can find themOtherwise, just pork ribsThe night before you should choose your favorite rub a combination of spices and apply it to the ribsThen wrap them in Saran Wrap and refrigerate overnightHere is an example 1 Tgarlic powder 1 Tonion powder 1 Tsalt cayenne pepper - from half a teaspoon to a tablespoon 1 Tblack pepper 1 Twhite pepper1 Cbrown sugar 1/2 Cpaprika Simply mix all the ingredients together The day you are to cook, take the ribs out about 1 hour prior to cookingPreheat your oven to 250?F, and it will take about 4 hours to doPlace a cake pan of hot water on the lowest rackYou may need to add water to this near the endPlace the ribs in the oven bone side down you will not turn these over (this allows the fat to 'travel' through the meat and leave all that flavor behind)!! Place them on a wire rack directly above the water pan and going in the same direction…you want to catch any drippings in this water panAfter 1 1/2 hours of cooking ( not before ! ), spritz or mop the ribs with a mixture of 3 parts apple juice and 1 part oilDo this every 1/2 - 3/4 hour until doneTo test for doneness, you can look at the bones and watch for the meat to pull back from the ends or you can use the toothpick test insert a toothpick between the bones and if it goes through easily they are doneFinally .apply any honey barbeque sauce 20 minutes prior to eating this will avoid the sugars burning and turning black and believe me, there is loads of sugar in every BBQ sauce! That's it! You're done! Like I said, this whole process will take around 4 hours.
Ingredients 2 1/2 pounds country style pork ribs 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 tablespoons salt 1 cup barbeque sauce Method: 1Place ribs in a large pot with enough water to coverSeason with garlic powder, black pepper and saltBring water to a boil, and cook ribs until tender 2Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) 3Remove ribs from pot, and place them in a 9x13 inch baking dishPour barbeque sauce over ribsCover dish with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until internal temperature of pork has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Sprinkle ribs with salt, black pepper and brown sugarHeat the oven to 400°Put the ribs on a foil covered rack, add a cup of water to the pan and stick them in the ovenWhen the ribs start to brown turn the heat down to 225° and let them cook for three hours basting every 20 minutes or soIf you want more browning turn the heat back up to 400° for a few minutes at the endThat's about as simple as it gets and they will be good.
All the answers you will get will reflect one's personal preferencesThere are always a few exceptions to the blanket answers you will getThere are superlight steels that don't even get mentioned because of their limited availability (S3 is one)Steel is still the number one choice of custom frame builders and has a ride feel that is sought after by cycling aficionadosTitanium is flexy if you are a sprinter (unless you have a Litespeed Ultimate or a Moots or an Omega) or buy a lightweight Litepseed Ghisallo but solid enough if you are a mere mortalTitanium will last virtually forever, it seemsCarbon Fiber is capable of building the ultimate bike as long as you don't crash it or are looking for the ride feel of a steel bikeAluminum was the material of choice just a couple of years ago for racers because they were solid, stiff for the ultimate in power transfer, cheap and could be made comfortable by using Scandium or mating it with carbon fiber in sections of the frameI won't cover every angle of this debate but read up on it in the internetyou'll get a million different answers.
