Usually, the oven is my best friend when craving and cooking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/oven-baked-ribs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oven-Baked Ribs<\/a>, but the Slow Cooker has become my favorite kitchen tool in my chaotic life. Move over, oven&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best part about slow cooker BBQ ribs is that they fit for any time&#8230;any season. Slow cooking ribs breaks down the connective tissue in the meat, making them fall-apart tender. Brushing with a delicious barbecue sauce glaze with a kick of garlic and Cayenne (<em>optional<\/em>), then broiling for an extra 2 minutes until bubbling, charred, and crispy on the tops and edges ensures the BEST ribs you will try.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients-for-bbq-ribs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients for BBQ Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bbq-Pork-Ribs-Ingredients-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for slow cooker barbecue ribs laid out on a grey textured background, including brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, baby back pork ribs, and barbecue sauce, all labeled.\" class=\"wp-image-83167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bbq-Pork-Ribs-Ingredients-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bbq-Pork-Ribs-Ingredients-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bbq-Pork-Ribs-Ingredients-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bbq-Pork-Ribs-Ingredients-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bbq-Pork-Ribs-Ingredients-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Bbq-Pork-Ribs-Ingredients-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Barbecue Sauce:<\/strong> Two cups of barbecue sauce form the base of the sticky glaze. Choose a brand you genuinely like the flavor of. I use the same sauce method when making <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/bbq-baked-pork-chops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">baked pork chops<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brown Sugar:<\/strong> Sugar melts directly into the juices cooking at the bottom of your slow cooker. Later, it caramelizes right under the broiler to give you the sticky coating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Minced Garlic:<\/strong> A hit of garlic is <em>non-negotiable for me<\/em>. You can substitute with garlic powder, but real cloves are better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Worcestershire Sauce:<\/strong> A splash of Worcestershire sauce adds a tangy bite that cuts straight through the sugar. <strong>Check your labels to ensure it is gluten-free if you are cooking for a crowd with dietary needs!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: See <a href=\"#wprm-recipe-container-40408\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#wprm-recipe-container-40408\">recipe card<\/a> for full list of ingredients and measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-additions-and-substitutions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additions And Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to crock-pot BBQ ribs, it is all about ease. You can make a few easy swaps and still get the same amazing ribs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Honey or Maple Syrup:<\/strong> Swap brown sugar for honey or maple syrup. Both melt in the heat and help build a great sticky coating on the meat side of the ribs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smoked Paprika:<\/strong> Use a little smoked paprika to fake that slow-cooked flavor without ever needing a smoker or smoke tube.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh Herbs:<\/strong> Toss fresh rosemary or thyme into the crockpot. As the meat cooks down, the herbs subtly infuse the pork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apple Cider Vinegar:<\/strong> If you do not have Worcestershire, use apple cider vinegar instead. You are not going to be able to tell the difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-types-of-ribs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Ribs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cut of the meat is important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before cooking, make sure to remove the tough, papery membrane off the back sides of the ribs so your seasoned ribs can absorb all the marinade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you ask me for my absolute favorite for this specific recipe? I always reach for Baby Back Ribs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 id=\"h-pork-ribs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pork Ribs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pork ribs come in a variety of styles. The cuts are determined by the exact part of the pig they originate from. When it comes to cooking, every part needs a different length of time depending on the size and tenderness of the meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-denary-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ribs-slowcooker-cafedelites-1.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic showing different types of pork ribs for a slow cooker recipe, including Country-Style Ribs, Baby Back Ribs, St. Louis-Style Spare Ribs, and Spare Ribs, with notes on taste, texture, and slow cook times.\" class=\"wp-image-174657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ribs-slowcooker-cafedelites-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ribs-slowcooker-cafedelites-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ribs-slowcooker-cafedelites-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ribs-slowcooker-cafedelites-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ribs-slowcooker-cafedelites-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/ribs-slowcooker-cafedelites-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Country-Style Ribs:<\/strong> <strong>Country-style<\/strong> pork ribs are actually cut from the shoulder end. They are the meatiest option you can buy, eating almost like thick <a href=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/bbq-baked-pork-chops\/\">pork chops<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Baby Ribs<\/strong>: These are smaller and curved, with shorter bones packed with a lot of lean meat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>St. Louis-Style Ribs:<\/strong> These are simply spare ribs that have been neatly trimmed. The butcher removes the cartilage and tips, leaving a flat, rectangular rack that fits easily into a pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spare Ribs:<\/strong> These come from the lower belly area. They have a longer, flatter bone with more fat marbled throughout. That extra fat means serious flavor, though they take up a bit more room.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 id=\"h-beef-ribs-vs-pork-ribs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beef Ribs vs. Pork Ribs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This recipe is designed specifically for a pork rack of ribs, but I am always asked if you can swap the meats. Beef ribs are significantly larger and meatier than pork, carrying a deep, beefy flavor. Because they have thicker bones and denser connective tissue, they take a bit more time to fully tenderize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you prefer the convenience of boneless ribs, you can use those too! Just keep an eye on your pot, as boneless cuts cook a little faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to switch things up, you can absolutely slow cook short ribs using this exact same method and marinade. Just keep in mind that bone-in beef needs that full, slow breakdown, so plan for the maximum cook time to ensure the meat side becomes completely fall-apart tender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-ribs-recipe\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ribs Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ribs are not only smothered in sauce while they are slow cooking, but they are coated in sauce a second time before going under the broiler (or grill) to create the stickiest glaze while charring the edges. I love pouring all of the liquid from the slow cooker bowl into the remaining sauce to give them even more flavor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-sauce-ingredients\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sauce Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Barbecue sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Garlic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brown sugar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cayenne (This is an optional ingredient if you like a nice kick of heat!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix all the ingredients together and brush all over the meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"174676\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Slow-Cooker-BBQ-Spare-Ribs-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bbq sauce for slow cooker barbecue ribs | https:\/\/cafedelites.com\" class=\"wp-image-174676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Slow-Cooker-BBQ-Spare-Ribs-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Slow-Cooker-BBQ-Spare-Ribs-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Slow-Cooker-BBQ-Spare-Ribs-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Slow-Cooker-BBQ-Spare-Ribs-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Slow-Cooker-BBQ-Spare-Ribs-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Slow-Cooker-BBQ-Spare-Ribs-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-id=\"174680\" src=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"Slow Cooker Barbecue Spare Ribs | https:\/\/cafedelites.com\" class=\"wp-image-174680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cafedelites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PicMonkey-Collage-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-cook-ribs-in-a-slow-cooker\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Cook Ribs In A Slow Cooker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this recipe, I am providing different cook times depending on the results you ar<sup><\/sup>e looking for.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>LOW: 7 HOURS \/ HIGH: 3 HOURS:<\/strong> Ribs that are soft but stay on the bone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>LOW: 9 HOURS \/ HIGH: 4-5 HOURS:<\/strong> Tender, fall apart in your hands ribs that melt in your mouth like butter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place your ribs in the bottom of your slow cooker, pour the sauce all over to evenly coat, cover with the lid, and let the slow cooker do all the cooking for you.

Lift the membrane away off of the bone until it begins to tear. Use a paper towel to grab hold of the edge of the membrane and pull it off. It may come off in one piece or it may tear into smaller pieces.
