Steps:
- Set the slow cooker to LOW and spray with nonstick cooking spray. (I always spray the underside of the lid to help with cleanup.)
- Remove the silver membrane from the back of the ribs. Here's a video with instructions. (You might have bought ribs with the membrane removed, and if so, skip this step.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Rub the dry-rub mix evenly over the ribs.
- Brush both sides of the rib with barbecue sauce and set the ribs in the slow cooker standing upright with the meaty side against the inside wall, of the slow cooker.
- Pour the remaining barbecue sauce over the ribs. If using a sweet sauce, pour the cider vinegar over the ribs.
- Cover and cook on LOW 5-6 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
- Serve with additional store-bought barbecue sauce or strain the juices, from the pan, through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium saucepan.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer 15-20 minutes or until the mixture has reduced to 2 cups.
- To serve, slice the meat between the bones and serve with barbecue sauce.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Whisk the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, mustard, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Cut each rack of ribs in half and add to the slow cooker. Use your hands to rub the sauce on to the ribs. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until tender, about 4 hours.
- Gently transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and cool for at least 20 minutes; this will help maintain the shape of the ribs as they grill. Whisk the sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce to brush on to the ribs and save any remaining sauce to serve on the side (it will thicken as it cools).
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the ribs, top-side down, until lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, brush the top side of the ribs with the reserved barbecue sauce and grill until the underside of the ribs are lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve immediately with the extra barbecue sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Cut ribs into individual pieces.

- Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Be careful with the salt since soy sauce is naturally salty.
- Cook in crock pot on low 8-10 hours or high 4-6 hours.
- Optional: Remove from crock pot (store liquid as stock if you like, otherwise discard) and coat ribs with your favorite sauce. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. I have found the ribs taste great either way.

It's not rocket science, just ribs cooked in the slow cooker and finished in the oven. This is what I do when I want ribs during the week and have to work all day. I'm eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs and spare ribs are the most popular cuts for slow cooker ribs. Baby back ribs are leaner and have a shorter cooking time, while spare ribs are meatier and have a richer flavor.
- Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat from the ribs before cooking. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Season the ribs: Season the ribs liberally with your favorite rub or marinade. This will help the ribs develop a flavorful crust.
- Use a slow cooker liner: A slow cooker liner will make cleanup a breeze. Just place the liner in the slow cooker before adding the ribs and ingredients.
- Cook the ribs on low: The best way to cook ribs in a slow cooker is on low heat for 8-10 hours. This will allow the ribs to cook slowly and evenly, resulting in fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
- Add liquid to the slow cooker: Adding a small amount of liquid to the slow cooker will help prevent the ribs from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even beer.
- Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with the cooking liquid every few hours will help keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and corn on the cob.
Conclusion:
Cooking ribs in a slow cooker is a great way to enjoy tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs without a lot of hassle. By following these tips, you can create delicious ribs that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for an easy and flavorful meal, give slow cooker ribs a try!
