this recipe is THE ANSWER when it comes to ribs! Everyone loved them. They are perfect! I added equal parts water and cider vioegar to make enough liquid to cover. Other than that, didn't change a thing. Yes, there's a good bit of sauce -- and that's a bad thing??I'll be making these ribs all summer. Thanks for a great recipe!

I tried this and was disappointed the first time , based on all the glowing reviews. I used top quality ribs (expensive) and followed the recipe exactly. Did add lemon juice and i can beer. I found it to have a greasy after-taste.I would have given it 2 stars.I used the sauce they were boiled in as the grill marinade. this proved to be a mistake as the fat that had boiled out was slathered back on.-, and sort of clung. I tried them again--this time i tossed the boiled marinade and used full bodied fresh sauce as the grill marinade. Voila-big improvement. Not great-but very good . Will make them again. My choice for sauce is 1 part Sweet Baby Ray's to 1 part Stubb's original for boiling. Good balance. On the grill I used K.C.Masterpiece. As someone else said the sauce is important.I'll tinker some more with these to get to 5 stars. The potential is there.

This is the first time I ever had ribs come out perfect! This is the easiest and the only way for me to make ribs from now on. Did as the previous users and added the beer and reduced to 1 bottle of BBQ sauce. Thanks for sharing!

The simplest recipes are the best. Why complicate greatness? After cooking over the stove I gave them to my son to baste and turn over the grill. These came out restaurant quality. I think extra bbq sauce on the side would've been great, but everyone else devoured them as is. Thanks for easy tip to grilling an expensive meat that I usually avoid cooking for fear of messing it up!

Excellent! I have been making a version of this recipe for years in which I boil the ribs in plain water and then soak them overnight in BBQ sauce. I think this is even better. Boiling them in the BBQ sauce and onions gives them extra taste. I boiled them for 1 hour and let them sit in the BBQ sauce that they cooked in overnight. Everone LOVES my ribs and this just kicked it up a notch!

This will work in the oven - wrap in foil sprayed with cooking spray and place in a baking dish to catch any leaks. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, then open foil and bake an additional 10 minutes to help carmelize the sauce on the meat. You may have to adjust cooking time depending on the size of the ribs, and you can turn them during the last 10 minutes if you want. I used this method often when I did not have a grill for ribs and chicken.

We do our ribs similar, but the steps are opposite. I grill ours on the BBQ grill or smoke them with charcoal/wood smoke until the color I desire. Then we put them in the oven and cover them with sauce in a lidded pan or roaster at about 275 degrees. An hour to two hours later they are so tender you can remove any bones with your fingers. Delicious.

This was really good. I think I put too much water into the pot though, but the continuous basting on the grill made it very flavorful. I did simmer the ribs longer on the stove top and the meat was falling off the bone. Excited to try it with country style ribs next time. Also going to try a flavored BBQ sauce. Thanks!

This is a great way to make tender juicy ribs (or chicken). I use beer instead of water and that really gives it a savory flavor.

Great method for cooking ribs, Tammi. Thanks for sharing.The ribs came out "falling off the bone tender and moist" just the way we like them. But why waste the time and effort with a bottled store bought sauce? I encourage everyone to try the Bourbon Whisky BBQ Sauce by Kevin on this site. You'll be glad you did!

I've made ribs and roasts this way for about 25 years. Just thought it up one day, didn't know anybody else made them like this. Some brands of sauce are better for cooking this way than others. Some have so much sugar in them, that they can burn, so you have to be careful. I use the leftover sauce over noodles, or make barbecue sandwiches and use the sauce over the bread. Friends and family always rave about my ribs and noodles.

O! M! G! THIS WAS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!! I used 1 large bottle of masterpiece bbq sauce, 3/4 cup of sugar, a splash of lemon, and just enough water to cover the ribs. Instead of 40 min, i boiled mine for about an hour and a half...we were waiting for my mother-in-law to get home so decided to just keep boiling them till she was almost home...and it turned out soooo goood! the meat was sooooo tender and juicy! we didn't think we were going to finish all of it but it was gone in no time!!! i also took another reviewers suggestion and let it sit covered for about 10 minutes before eating! thanks for the recipe! will make everytime now!!!

I did not use the onion, and use fresh bbq sauce while grilling. I can't stress enough to let meat sit for 10-15 minutes covered after taking off the grill. My second rib was much juicier than the first one was. I'm not a big rib fan but these were ok.

Ok, so I have made country ribs many times before, and I've always seasoned them with salt and pepper & boiled them in plain water before grilling them with bbq sauce... and I thought they were pretty good. Well, let me tell you. I will never make them that way again! I am so glad I tried this because the ribs had so much more bbq flavor and they were so tender and moist. They came out dry sometimes when I did them my old way. I only made about 1 lb. since it's just me and my hubby, and they were awesome! Thanks for the recipe!! It's definitely a keeper!

This was a great way to grill. I have tried other recipes where you boil the ribs then bake them and I was wanting to try one that I could use the grill. I decided to try this. I was skeptical about boiling it with bbq sauce and then using it to baste with. I figured it would be real runny with the water but everything cooked down and got thickened just like a perfect bbq sauce. I will use this method again!

Wonderful! Made these after church and it was a snap. They grill very nicely and you are able to control how brown you want them, since they are already cooked thru. Family LOVED them!!
