Boiled to perfection

I used to make them that way before I had a smoker. I put them in the instant pot and then broiled afterwards. They were good, but not nearly as good as smoked. No comparison.

That tab of unsalted butter has more seasoning than those poor ribs have.

Look like they were cooked by leaving them in a bowl beside a sunny window.

Boiled first or just microwaved?

A good friend of mine wanted to have a rib off. His vs mine. We had mine first, cooked low and slow offset on a Weber kettle. Very simple just a rub that I like and slow smoked and sauced at the end.
His involved 20 ingredients but he cooked them in the oven and then finished on the grill.
They didn’t exactly look like this because at least they had sauce and seasoning but he kind of just drizzled the BBQ sauce on and didn’t brush it so it kind of looked like this. Also obviously no smoke ring. They weren’t the worst, but they just kind of tasted like an oven baked pork roast and not really what I think of when I think of ribs.
Anyway, mine won

Probably used my coworkers “amazing” recipe that started out with “first you boil the ribs”…No thanks.

This looks like the picture when people are in hospitals on antibiotics and they say they don’t want to eat because everything has a weird taste. Like you think you are getting good ribs and this is what your mouth tastes.
No specific location needed but what state is this? Like not a state known to have good smoked bbq I assume. Even then I’d expect better looking meats at a restaurant.

That looks like boiled meat.

Dear God, did they boil them?!?!? Someone call The Hague, that’s a crime against humanity

I love it when places have review pics like this. It tells me what places to avoid.

It’s 2025 and people are still boiling ribs.
The ribs I get served in my Midwestern town that my coworker tells me “you just have to try the ribs here!”

Seriously, RIP to that pig. I couldn’t even figure out the preparation until another commenter said boiled.
post the review
🤮
are these f’rs boiled?
This made me unreasonably mad that 1) These are served and 2) Someone thought they were good enough to immortalize them through a photo.
A pig died for those sins
Looks like someone just tossed them into a giant soup pot and boiled the heck out of them.
These cost $17.99.
