This is a sure thing when you have company over. I follow reviewer suggestions and add the soy sauce and quartered onion. I always boil the ribs for 45 mins and then bake for the hour and a half. I have made this for friends 4 times, and always receive rave reviews as I watch people go back for more and more. The meat is so tender, you can't stop picking at it.

Absolutely incredible. I've never made ribs before and this was the easiest recipe ever. I made some changes like others suggested: added soy sauce and 1/2 onion and a couple of garlic cloves to the water. I also baked it for 1 1/2 hours and then put it on the grill for about 5 mins each side to warm them up. The meat "feel off the bones" I'm told. In fact, I didn't even get to try one b/c they were gone so fast. I've been asked to bring them to 2 upcoming bbq's.

OMG.....amazing. Added hot pepper to the water....NEVER do that again!!

very easy to do, tastes great! i added a couple of bay leaves to the boiling water.

yesss.... these are sooo good!!! I boil mine for an hour, let them sit, then cook like how he said. I just has these tonite and its like their just wasn't enough ribs!!

I did these for my father-in-law's birthday, he loves ribs, and I had NEVER made ribs in my life! I started to wonder what I was thinking testing this out on him, but he loved it, and asked for the recipe. I did use some soy sauce to boil them in as others suggested, boiled an hour, baked at 225 for another 1 hour 10 minutes. They were so tender, and even better the next day as leftovers!

This is sooooo good and I am not a great cook but this came out tender. I never would of thought boiling first. Thanx soooo much. I look forward in making more.

simple is the word here and they came out great!!!! my whole family loved them!

Made these yesterday for the 4th and they were fantastic..and so easy! It was the first time I'd ever made ribs before. Followed the advice of others and after boiling let them sit in the water for an hour or so. Used Sweet Baby Ray's sauce. Can't wait to make again! Thank you!

I made these yesterday for 4th of July and they were the best I've ever had. This is why: I used beef ribs since I don't eat pork, I boiled them in the slow cooker on low heat for eight hours, with just water and a little soy sauce. I thought I had over done them because only half the bone had meat on it, actually, the only thing that fell off the bone was the fat. I removed the ribs to a glass plate and generously brushed them with my favorite bbq sauce. They sat that way about 15-20 minutes while we prepared the grill, and soaked up most of the sauce. You only really have to let the grill go for about ten minutes or until the fire settles a little before you start grilling these since they are already cooked and just need to be blackened. They cook really quickly and are amazing. I have never had ribs with almost all the fat taken off, which is way better, neither have I had such tender ribs in my life. Just make sure you skim the fat out of your slow cooker before you dump the water down the sink, I made that mistake and was scraping coagulated fat out of my sink when the dishwasher was running, ew!

I've made these ribs twice in the last couple of weeks and they are always a hit and sooooooooo moist!!! I added sweet baby rays barbecue sause and they are awesome!!!!

Easy and delicious!

WOW! After boiling the ribs, I let them marinate overnight in BBQ sauce. The next day, I threw them on the grill and basted them with more BBQ sauce. They were fall off the bones tender! WOW!

Simple & Delicious!!! it's a keeper! thank you :-)

Tasty and tender! Took reviewer's advice about cooking chicken the same way....was the best bbq chicken I've ever made.

Finger Lickin' Good!!!!!!! I included a few additions which include: 1 can chicken broth, 1 can beef broth, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1TBS Worcestershire Sauce, 1 onion quartered, cajun seasoning, 1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ Sauce and 1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce. The results were a standing ovation after the meal. Served w/ green bean and carrot medley and Pioneer Woman's Hot Crashed Potatoes. Yum! Yum! Yum! Thaaank you for a great way to tenderize and flavorize ribs inside. That meat just pulled away from the bone so easily my hunny was smiling and mmmming throughout the entire meal! It’s a winner all the way! Please try it with my suggestions gathered myself as well as other reviews
