• For frying and stewing in a multicooker, medium-sized pork ribs with a small amount of fat and a significant amount of meat are most suitable. If they are devoid of fat, the dish will be dry. If there is not enough meat, then the fat will be melted, and only bones will remain, which will not bring either satiety or pleasure from absorbing a delicious snack.
• Young pork turns out to be softer and softer when cooked. This also applies to the brisket. For this reason, you should not take ribs if the fat on them has a yellow tint - this is a sign that the meat belonged to an old pig.
• Any dishes come out more juicy from fresh meat. If you intend to cook frozen pork ribs in a slow cooker, remove them from the freezer in advance, because they must thaw in the refrigerator. If you try to speed up the process with warm water or a microwave, the ribs will be hard and dry.
• So that the pork ribs are tender and soft, it will not hurt to marinate them first. Delicious ribs are obtained if they are kept in the marinade for several hours.

Delicious pork ribs cooked in a slow cooker

Ribs are considered a truly masculine meal. However, the fair sex is not averse to treating itself to fat, juicy and intoxicatingly fragrant pieces. And what kind of culinary freedom this product gives the chef!

You can cook this part of the pork carcass in different ways: bake, fry, stew. Accordingly, the hostess will need different equipment.

Our recipe today can be brought to life with a multicooker. This appliance allows you to cook both fried and stewed ribs. Therefore, our choice is stewed pork ribs in a slow cooker.

In fact, the best way to cook ribs in a slow cooker is determined by the type of pork purchased.

The soft fatty ribs of a young animal, with a lot of meat on the bone, can be fried. And if you come across a piece that is not very fatty, bony, it is better to extinguish it (as a rule, with ribs bought in a supermarket, it is better to act in exactly the same way, which we will do).

You can also stew pork ribs in a slow cooker in different ways. The recipes offer several modes of the appliance to choose from, a variety of ways to marinate and prepare meat, as well as a long list of related products.

You can marinate meat dry (just rubbed with spices) or using brine (usually it is made on the basis of acid: water with vinegar, whey, kefir, and so on).

The “wet method” takes more time, since the meat must be in the brine for at least several hours. Pork, grated with seasonings, is enough for thirty minutes.

But our recipe does not provide for pickling at all, although, despite this, the dish turns out to be the most tender. All the secrets of cooking are a little lower.

Don't be confused by the lack of a long list of spices. Soy sauce and honey are enough to make the meat fragrant and tasty, and this recipe has taken pride of place in your cookbook.

As you can see, we will use honey (if you do not have this product at home, or it cannot be used, for example, due to food intolerance, replace it with sugar).

Do not be afraid to use sugar for meat dishes, they will not become sweet. But honey or sugar will help the meat get a golden brown crust.

Step 1

Wash the ribs in cold water, pat dry. Cut so that the portions are medium in size. The photo shows that our pork is not very fat, and we cut into pieces two ribs wide.

If you are fortunate enough to buy a fatter slice and there is enough meat on the bones, then you can cut the ribs into one-bone-wide slices.

Step 2

Put honey in a bowl or bowl. Pour in the soy sauce gradually, stirring constantly. Your task is to mix the composition so that the honey is completely dissolved.

When you are successful, add the garlic, peeled and minced, to a bowl, and stir the sauce again. The finished fill should resemble the contents of the bowl in the bottom photo.

Step 3

Put the prepared ribs in the multicooker bowl.

Step 4

Pour the sauce on top and stir the contents of the bowl with your hands or with a silicone spatula. Even without preliminary marinating, using salt and other spices, our meat will turn out to be simply incredibly tasty and spicy.

Step 5

Pour warm water into a bowl. Pork ribs will be cooked in a slow cooker in the "Stew" mode for about an hour and a half. After this time, the dish is ready to serve.

You can serve stewed ribs with a side dish or with ordinary fresh vegetables.

Now let's say a few words about how else you can cook the same dish. Our recipe is a variation with a slight Asian touch. To enhance it, add ginger to the sauce.

Ground ginger, or fresh root, finely grated or cut into thin slices, will do.

If you purchased ribs with a lot of meat on the bone, you can not stew them, but fry them. To do this, you need the “Bake” mode.

When frying meat, do not forget to turn it over every 20 minutes. In this mode, moisture evaporates very intensively, so the dish will be ready much faster - in 40 minutes.

The ribs in a slow cooker can be cooked so that they bring back memories of a summer shish kebab soaked in fire smoke.

To do this, marinate the meat with onions, chopped tomatoes, parsley or cilantro; salt, black pepper and a few tablespoons of vinegar will be enough as spices. Leave the meat in this marinade for 3-4 hours, then put it in a multicooker bowl, and then according to the recipe.

Note that the marinade does not need any liquid - the meat will have enough juice that the onion and tomatoes will release.

As you can see, all the recipes offer a different approach and ingredients, but they agree on one thing: ribs in a slow cooker are hard not to love.
