These ribs are so simple to prepare. Start them at noon or let them cook all day long for fall-off-the-bone tenderness.

I want to cook some spareribs. How long do I bake them and what is a good simple dry rub for flavor?

Bubba's Ribs
Wash ribs
I cut them into 3-5 bone width - easier to handle
Sprinkle lemon-pepper on both sides
Lay face down (bone ends up) on SARAN wrap
Fold to the inside of rib
Lay face down on Reynolds Aluminum Foil - Shiny side OUT
Bubba's Ribs Additional Information
Saran wrap is thicker than the other brands of wrap. I can assure you that the Saran wrap will not melt, if it is placed inside the Reynolds Aluminum Foil. I have been using this recipe for over 12 years and I have never, not even once, had the Saran wrap melt.
Bubba, plastic wrap releases cancer causing toxins when heated. I truly hope you stop using it for cooking and just use two pieces of foil for your ribs instead.
Here is a great recipe for spare ribs that I have been using for years. Enjoy!
Ingredients
3 pounds pork spareribs or pork baby back ribs
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Cut spareribs into serving-size pieces. Place ribs, bone side down, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour. Drain.
Combine all the remaining ingredients; brush some of glaze on ribs. Bake, uncovered, 30-45 minutes longer or until meat is tender, brushing occasionally with remaining glaze. Yield: 4 servings.
Do you bake the ribs for one hour without the glaze?
By Nida
I know someone who "bakes off" their ribs before putting them on the grill then adding the sauce the last few minutes.
Ribs are a barbecue favorite. This page contains barbecued spare ribs recipes.
Put about 3 inches of water in your steamer OR use a large turkey roaster. You can balance a broiling rack on 4 wadded up balls of aluminum foil in lieu of a steamer. Add crushed garlic cloves and cut onion to water (you can substitute beer for water if you like). Bring to a rolling boil, cover and turn to medium - low. Cooking on low will minimize shrinkage. Steam your rack of pork ribs until tender. Babybacks take about 2 hours.
