Pork Spare Ribs

Get ready for pork perfection in 3, 2, 1. Well...almost. You might know the 3-2-1 technique, which is a favorite of seasoned smokers because it pretty much guarantees fall-off-the-bone pork ribs without a lot of fuss or complicated calculations. We're all for leaving math out of cooking, but we also focus on temperature instead of time. Our method still splits the cook into 3 stages (unwrapped, wrapped, and sauced), but we've found the best temperatures to finish each stage. The timing can still be close depending on your ribs, but in any case, you should prepare yourself for the meltiest, tastiest pork ribs ever. If you can track down St Louis ribs, we definitely endorse picking some of those up, because they're cut into a clean, rectangular shape that helps them cook more evenly. Best of all, you'll still get to skip all the weighing and temperature checking because you're using MEATER, you smart chef, you. With our built-in alerts, pulling your ribs at the right temperature is going to be just as effortless as setting your 3-2-1 timer. These spare ribs can be served with any of your favorite barbecue sides, so have fun creating your own personalized barbecue platter. Personally, we like fresh coleslaw to offset the heaviness of the pork. When it comes to drinks, there's nothing like cracking open a cold one at a barbecue, and fruity beers or crisp ciders will wash down your ribs nicely.
