Grandma's Secret Tips!

Grandma also made great ribs using her slow-cooking method. She arranged the ribs in a baking pan, cutting apart the racks so they fit in the pan, then covered the pan with foil, sealing it tightly. She baked the ribs at 250°F for 6 to 8 hours, basting them occasionally with the marinade, until the meat was so tender it was falling off the bone.
