Reheating Ribs

[jharner]

Looking for suggestions on reheating ribs that have to be smoked the day before they are served, probably 3 racks.

[Jerod Broussard]

The best reheated I made were slightly under cooked NOT on purpose. Horrible bend test that you would call ready, that is what I did, on Thanksgiving.

Wrap in foil with a tablespoon or two of water, cook at 225 or so. When tender put on some sauce and caramelize in the oven with the door cracked. Those cooked all the way the first time right did well also.

I have good luck putting them in a Zip Loc or Vacuum Seal bag, then boiling in water. Alternatively, simmer in a crock pot with some water/stock/bbq sauce/whatever 'til heated through.

I wrap in foil and spray them with a little apple juice or cider. Then place them in 225 F. oven. Soooooo goooooood

Amen!

If I know that I am smoking them a day ahead of time I won't sauce them during the initial cook. When it comes time to serve them I'll crank up the gas grill and will baste one side and then the other until I run out of sauce. They get a real nice glaze that way and re-heat in the process. As for leftovers...foil them and toss them into a 250 degree oven for a half hour.

Thanks for all the advice it is all helpfull

I have 4-5 racks of bb ribs that are going to be reheated the next day. Think I will spritz each with apple juice, seal in foil, and heat in oven at probably 250 for approximately an hour.

Welcome! Thank you for your support over the years!

That should work fine for almost fall off the bone ribs. If you want a bit of bite still left try the foil boat approach at 170 or 180 F. Thanks for joining in. Please do so again soon.

Gee, I reheated the ribs I made for dinner last night for lunch. 3 - 30 second intervals in the microwave for 4 ribs. Came out great.

[Mosca]

That’s my method, too. I cover them with a damp paper towel, as much to make cleanup easy as to keep them moist.

I totally reheat ribs in the nukebox on a regular...
