Pork Rib – FAQs

Baby back ribs and St. Louis style ribs are two of the most popular options for BBQ cooking. Baby backs are leaner and cook faster, while St. Louis ribs are meatier and better suited to long, slow cooking. 

Ribs are best cooked slowly at a low temperature to break down connective tissue and create tender meat. They can be smoked, grilled, roasted, or braised depending on your preferred cooking style.  

Most ribs take 2.5–3 hours at around 150–160°C when cooked slowly. Cooking time can vary depending on the size of the rack and the cooking method used.  

Cooking ribs slowly and allowing the fat and connective tissue to break down is the best way to achieve tender results. Marinating the ribs or applying a dry rub ahead of time can also improve flavour and texture.  

For bone-in pork ribs, allow roughly 450g per person for a main meal. If you’re serving several dishes, around 225–340g per person may be enough.  

Yes. Pork ribs freeze very well when wrapped securely in freezer-safe packaging. They can typically be stored in the freezer for up to six months without losing quality.  

Many ribs are sold plain so you can add your own seasoning, but some options may be available pre-marinated with flavours such as bourbon, hot and spicy, or Chinese-style sauces.
