Baking Tips
For extra tender ribs, cook at 250°F for 3 hours.
You can add a tablespoon of liquid smoke to the rub for a smoky flavor.
Let ribs come to room temperature before cooking for more even results.
For a spicier version, add more cayenne pepper to the dry rub.
Save time by removing the membrane from ribs when you first bring them home.
