Have you made slow cooker ribs in the crock pot? If so, share your tips with us! Cook on LOW for 4-6 hours for amazing fall-off-the-bone ribs. It tasted just like a great homemade barbecue sauce!ДЄdd liquid of your choice to the slow cooker, enough to cover the ribs. I used to work in a restaurant where ribs were served they were marinated in a cheap brand of barbecue sauce, along with the juice of one lemon, one lime, and one orange.

Barbecue sauce is always a safe choice.

Want an Asian flair? Try soy sauce, ginger, honey, and garlic.

It contains enzymes that help break down fibers in meat.

Pineapple juice can help with really tough meat.

Fruit juices, like apple juice, can help tenderize ribs.

ItвЂ™s naturally sweet and adds a very different flavor.

If you want something really different in your crock pot ribs try coconut milk.

Veggie broth can work as a no-sugar option, but it wonвЂ™t taste like barbecue.

Choose an organic brand as they usually contain less sugar. The spicy ginger adds a different depth of flavor.

For the same reason, ginger beer works very well too.

IвЂ™ve used a great organic root beer that was low in sugar, but high in flavor, which worked amazingly. Here are several liquid options that impart great flavor to your crock pot ribs: Depending on the size of the slow cooker and the amount of meat you have, you can use about 2-3 cups of liquid. Once the ribs have dry cooked for a while you can add some liquid. I use a bit of salt, pepper, brown sugar, and a few drops of liquid smoke.ДЄfter seasoned, place the crock pot ribs in the slow cooker (WITHOUT liquid) and turn it on high. The ribs will soak up any seasoning you rub on them. Keep in mind that you wonвЂ™t be able to get the вЂњcrustвЂќ or вЂњbarkвЂќ like with a dry grill. You can season them with salt and pepper, or you can use a rib rub. Seasoning ProperlyД¬lean your ribs well and prepare them for seasoning. DonвЂ™t pack them in too tight, you want the juice to work around and through the ribs. Choose enough to fill the slow cooker about half full, maybe a bit more. YouвЂ™ll need to cut your ribs so they fit into the crock pot. Short ribs or riblets work really well, although baby back ribs work well too. Choosing and Prepping the MeatД«eef and pork ribs work best for this type of recipe. I prefer short ribs, but you can do any rib that will fit in your slow cooker. So during the winter, I make these short ribs in the slow cooker. Yes, gas grills may work but they provide no smoke flavor and the goal here is to stay warm while cooking.

So I make these crock pot ribs in the slow cooker! But in the winter itвЂ™s tough to keep the smoker cooker up to temp.
