Ribs, ribs, blacksmith ribs. One of our all-time favorite barbecue staples. They’re amazing fresh off the grill, but trying to recapture that original grilled flavor in leftovers can be a struggle. Fear no more with our 5 easy steps to grilling heaven: How to Reheat Ribs.
How to reheat ribs in the oven
The oven is one of the most effective ways to reheat ribs without losing their flavor. It’s also great when you want to preheat large batches of ribs.
Require…
- Lake
- 1 baking sheet
- BBQ sauce (you can make your own homemade BBQ sauce )
Step 1
Preheat oven to 121 degrees Celsius or 250 degrees Fahrenheit. The low temperature prevents the ribs from overcooking, shrinking and becoming tough. It’s no fun eating shrunken, chewy meat, is it?
Step 2
If necessary, defrost ribs. Brush the meaty part of the ribs on all sides with the barbecue sauce.
Step 3
Missing two layers of aluminum foil, then wrap it around the remaining ribs. If you didn’t spread sauce on the ribs, add 1/4 cup of water, broth, broth, or wine to the chunks once they’re wrapped. This will prevent the ribs from drying out as they reheat.
Step 4
Arrange the ribs on the baking sheet and place in the oven. Let them warm up for about an hour.
Step 5
Now remove the foil from your hot ribs and set the oven to “Roast”. Let the pieces rest in the oven for 5-10 minutes. Be sure to leave the oven door open on one side to prevent the oven thermostat from turning off. Let the ribs rest for five minutes before serving.
#2 Grilled ribs on
Grilling is another great way to reheat ribs . You can use a charcoal or gas grill. Before grilling the pieces, make sure the grill is free of residue from the previous grilling.
Requirements
- Thwart
- Barbecue Sauce
- A meat thermometer
Address
1. Thaw stayed ribs. You can leave them at room temperature for about 30 minutes or more.
2. Coat both sides of the ribs with barbecue sauce.
3. With the cord connected, preheat your grill to approximately 225°F or 121°C. For a gas grill, this is a medium setting.
4. Wrap the remaining ribs in two layers of aluminum foil.
5. Place leftover ribs over indirect heat until about 66°C/155°F. A meat thermometer is helpful to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
6. Remove ribs from foil and grill directly over direct heat for 5 to 10 minutes on each side, until sauce is bubbly.
7. Remove ribs and serve hot.
#3 Reheat ribs in the microwave
The microwave is the easiest and quickest way to make dinner out of cold leftover ribs. However, if YOU microwave it incorrectly, you could end up with musky, bad-tasting ribs.
Many people balk at the thought of reheating grilled food this way, but the microwave is actually a great aid for reheating briskets, ribs, and other grilled meats.
Requirements
- Paper towels
- A plastic container or plastic wrap.
Address
1. Cover the plastic container with paper towels.
2. Place the ribs in the bowl and cover with paper towels to avoid splattering in your microwave.
3. Place the container in the microwave and set on medium heat.
4. Please note that heating times may vary depending on the type of microwave. Therefore, you may need to reheat the ribs for 3-5 minutes at a time until they are warmed through.
5. Serve with barbecue sauce if desired.
#4 Reheat ribs with steam
A steam session is a nice, gentle way to reheat leftover ribs. While it’s not as quick as a microwave, YOU don’t have to worry about the ribs drying out.
Requirements
- To an aluminum bag
Address
1. Place a steamer basket in a Dutch oven with a quarter cup of water on the bottom. Bring the water to a simmer.
2. Now wrap the ribs in a foil bag and place them in the basket.
3. Put a lid on and let the ribs steam for about 10 minutes. Do not inspect the meat while it is steaming as this will allow steam to escape and lower the temperature in the steamer.
4. Transfer the pieces to a serving plate and enjoy your meal.
#5 Reheat ribs with a sous vide machine
The sous vide appliance is the ideal choice for those who want hassle- free reheating methods that eliminate the risk of overcooking.
Requirements
- A sealable plastic bag
Address
1. Heat the water in the sous vide to a slightly lower temperature than the original cooking temperature. For example, if you cooked the ribs at 150°F, heat the water to about 145°F.
2. Seal the ribs in an airtight plastic bag and then submerge in the water. Wait for the ribs to warm up to the desired temperature. With sous vide, you can rest assured that your ribs won’t burn while they’re cooking.
3. Remove the ribs from the sous vide tube and place on a medium-high grill or grill with a light coating of barbecue sauce, if desired, to give a nice crust.
