Tony Roma's® Baby Back Ribs

Begin the day before, by preheating the oven to 500 degrees . Use two racks of baby back pork ribs rubbed with salt and pepper.

Use a 2-piece broiling pan and add about 1/2 inch of water in the lower portion and put the upper half, the part with the drain holes, in place.

Place the two racks of ribs side by side on top portion of the broiler pan. Avoid overlapping them or hanging them off the edge of the pan.

Form a tent and seal tightly around the perimeter of the broiler with extra heavy-duty aluminum foil. You may need to fold two sheets together to get enough width. It is crucial that the seal is tight! If the water evaporates, the ribs will suffer. Make sure that the foil does not lay on the ribs.

Bake for one hour. This will steam the ribs at high temperature. Cool the ribs, still covered, remove them from the pan, then wrap tighly and chill overnight in the fridge. This step is important.The ribs must be cold for the next phase. You can reserve the liquid, which is basically rib stock, reduce strain stock if you will be using and add to the barbecue sauce. It adds a unique, meaty flavor.

Preheat grill to hot. Place the racks on the grill when they reach a golden, bubbly stage (3-4 min.), turn them and coat with a good barbecue sauce. When ribs are brown (2-4 minutes) turn and coat the other side of the ribs. Cook the sauce into the ribs for a couple of minutes on each side, then remove, slice and serve.

A word of caution: The ribs will be so tender that the meat will literally fall off the bone when you try to turn the racks on the grill. It is helpfull to have two sets of large tongs and be very gentle.
