1. Preheat Slow Cooker
First, get your slow cooker ready by preheating it on the high setting. This step ensures the ribs start cooking evenly right from the beginning.
2. Season the Ribs
Next, take your pork ribs and season them generously with pink salt and freshly ground black pepper. Follow this by rubbing in the dry rib-seasoning mix, making sure to cover each rib thoroughly. This combination of seasoning will infuse the meat with a deep, savory flavor that’s perfect for slow cooking.
3. Arrange Ribs in Slow Cooker
Now, arrange the seasoned ribs in the slow cooker. Stand them up along the walls of the crock insert with the bonier sides facing inward. This method allows the heat to circulate evenly around the ribs, ensuring they cook uniformly and remain juicy.
4. Add Barbecue Sauce
Once the ribs are in place, pour just enough sugar-free barbecue sauce over them to coat both sides. This will add a tangy sweetness to the ribs as they cook, blending beautifully with the spices.
5. Cook the Ribs
Cover the slow cooker and let the ribs cook on high for four hours. This slow-cooking process is crucial as it breaks down the connective tissues in the ribs, making them incredibly tender and flavorful.
6. Serve
After four hours, your ribs will be ready to serve. They should be tender, juicy, and infused with a rich barbecue flavor. Enjoy!
Cook on low heat for 6-8 hours to ensure tenderness and avoid cooking on high.
Select ribs with good marbling and fat. Avoid long-frozen meat.
Give the ribs a char and caramelize the sauce post-slow cooking for added flavor.
Use a homemade spice rub and allow it to marinate for at least an hour, or overnight.
Check internal temperature and look for meat pulling away from the bone.
