What are spareribs?

Who doesn't know them? Spare ribs are the parts of the pork ribs that come from below the stomach, breast and behind the shoulders. The meat is between the bones, nice to chew! These spareribs have thick meat, perfect for low and slow cooking on the BBQ. Full of flavor and wonderfully tender. Just remove the membrane!

How do you remove the membrane from the spare ribs?

Removing the membrane from the spare ribs is a piece of cake! The membrane is on the hollow side of the spare rib. You can easily stick a butter knife in here. You can then simply pull the membrane off.

How to Prepare Spareribs?

Spareribs, especially the raw variant, are perfect for slow cooking. Want to eat spareribs within a few hours? Then cook the spareribs for 30 minutes in a marinade with a little water until tender. 

Have enough time? Great! First, season your spareribs with a dry rub or a marinade. Ensure the BBQ has a temperature between 100 and 150 degrees Celsius. Place the spareribs – above a drip tray, not directly over the coals – with the bones facing down. Every half hour, baste them with something like apple juice. After an hour and a half, you can wrap the spareribs in aluminum foil for extra tender meat. After an hour in the foil, unwrap them and place them back on the grill for a while. Finish with a glaze.

The advantage of not pre-cooking is that the texture of the meat remains intact, giving it that satisfying bite. 

Ways to Prepare Spareribs

Spareribs are perhaps one of the most popular low & slow BBQ dishes in the Netherlands. There are countless ways to prepare them, but below you'll find a guide and recipes to help you succeed.

Spareribs According to the 3-2-1 Method

This method comes from America and is particularly suitable for meaty ribs, such as belly ribs. If you're using thinner ribs (as is often the case in the Netherlands), you may want to adjust the times slightly. Either way, you should plan for about 5 to 6 hours, excluding preparation. But that’s the charm of it! How better to spend your Sunday afternoon? What does the method mean? The numbers represent time intervals. Not necessarily hours, although that’s usually the standard. On average, a low & slow preparation of spareribs (excluding preparation) takes about 6 hours. Generally, it’s 3 hours of smoking, 2 hours of steaming, and 1 hour of grilling. 3-2-1, in short. However, the times are flexible and depend on your taste and the type of meat. For example, with baby back ribs, you might choose to steam for just one hour. And since many BBQ enthusiasts dislike the meat falling off the bone, the steaming time is often reduced from 2 hours to 1. So, follow your instincts (and your meat).

Goede ribben,

bevatten veel vlees (950gr.) en het vlies was erg makkelijk te verwijderen. Naar mijn mening lekkerder dan de St. Louis ribs. Vrijdag ochtend besteld, 's avonds in huis.

Ik ga deze zéker nog eens bestellen!
