How to Warm Gourmet Ribs

There is nothing better than a hot plate of ribs. Whether it's short rib, spare ribs, beef ribs, pork ribs or any other kind of ribs, you will probably not have to worry about too many left-overs. Well if you do happen to have a few, here are some tips on how you can warm gourmet ribs so that they are just as succulent as when they were first made.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Pre-cooked ribs
• Barbecue sauce or desired gravy
• Stock pot
• Water
• Tongs

1. Remove the ribs from the fridge and allow them to become room temperature. This will take about an hour. Since you aren't cooking the ribs, you don't want them cold when they go into the sauce. Also, placing them in another heat source, like a microwave or oven, may dry them out.
2. Pour your barbecue sauce or gravy into a stock pot. If it seems too thick,add water to thin the sauce. Keep some barbecue sauce on the side to slather on top just before serving.
3. Heat your barbecue sauce or gravy over a medium flame. Place your ribs into the stock pot and turn down the flame to low to allow the ribs to simmer.
4. Let the ribs heat for 10 minutes. Turn the ribs a few times so that they heat evenly and don't get stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Remove the ribs from the stock pot with a pair of tongs. Hold the ribs up over the pot for a moment and drain off any excess barbecue sauce.
6. Place the warm ribs on a plate and serve with sauce on the side.
