＋ Can I make these ribs without a grill?

Absolutely! After the slow cooking phase, you can finish the ribs under your oven s broiler. Brush with glaze and broil 4-6 inches from heat for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

＋ How do I know when the ribs are done?

The meat should be tender enough to easily pull away from the bones. You can also use the bend test when you pick up the ribs with tongs, they should bend and the meat should start to crack on the surface.

＋ Can I prepare the glaze ahead of time?

Yes, the lemon ginger glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just give it a good stir before using as the ingredients may separate.

＋ What's the best way to remove the membrane from ribs?

Use a knife to loosen one corner of the membrane, then grip it with a paper towel for better hold and peel it off in one piece. This step ensures more tender ribs and better flavor absorption.
