Oven baked pork ribs are a nourishing and tasty dish. However, most housewives can not boast of knowing a lot of recipes, how to cook pork ribs in the oven. After all, most often they are stewed with cabbage or potatoes. Stewed ribs are also tasty, but also baked for their organoleptic qualities they are not inferior. In addition, in the oven you can cook dishes that are very different from those cooked in a saucepan.
Cooking Features
In order for the pork ribs to not become dry and hard when baking in the oven, you need to know a few features of their choice, preparation and subsequent preparation:
- When buying, you should prefer meaty brisket. If there is little meat on the ribs, then as a result of baking it almost does not remain, so there will be nothing to eat. Excess fat can be cut with a knife, leaving no more than 1 cm.
- The meat of a young pig is more tender. If you take bacon from an adult animal for baking, you will need more time to process, the prepared meat will not be easy to chew. An old animal can be distinguished by yellowish fat. The young pig has white fat, and the meat itself is lighter than that of the old pig.
- Frozen ribs are not the best choice if you plan to use them for baking. If you have already subjected the ribs to freezing, give them the opportunity to thaw in the refrigerator without using water or heating them in a microwave. In this case, freezing will minimally affect the juiciness of the product.
- Tastier, more tender and fragrant pork ribs, baked in the oven, come out, ate them pre-marinate. Usually, the marinade composition is indicated in the recipe of cooking a dish, but if not, the pork ribs can be marinated just like pork on a kebab: in beer, mineral water, mayonnaise, kefir.
