It is that time of year again, I am NOT going to do much cooking in my kitchen. It is in the exact middle of my house and even with the new stove hood, which vent the heat out, I don't want to do much cooking in there.
Today, the family is gathering for an early Memorial Week End BBQ. We will of course have the standards, hot dogs and hamburgers, but I have secret surprise cooking for them. BBQ Pork Spare Ribs ala Wonder Box. I am about to put them on (9:30 am) and they should be absolutely falling off the bones by dinner time. All I will have to run the stove is about 20-25 minutes and the rest will be done out on the patio, just o get the box out of the way. Think of all the energy I will be saving. Time will be saved to since I won't have to check them once they ore cooking.
I already have baked beans in one crock pot and the funereal potatoes will be going into another one as soon as the ribs are tucked into the Wonder Box. The men can be manly and "man" the grill . . . not for me thank you very much!!
UPDATE: As usual, I checked the temperature of the meat as soon as I opened the pot and bag. They were still at 157 degrees, great !
The ribs turned out wonderful, in most respects, juicy and tender. There was a little hole in the bottom of the bag, so some of the BBQ sauce leaked out and some of the water leaked in.
Lesson learned: Check for leaks in the baking bag!
