Olive oil
1 onion sliced
2 cups water
Bottle of prepared barbecue sauce
You can bake ribs in a conventional oven or grill them on a charcoal or gas grill. To get tender, juicy ribs, many cooks prefer a slow cooking method. Roaster ovens provide this slow-cooked tenderness using a low temperature setting. Choose your favorite barbecue sauce, either bottled or your own homemade recipe, to add the final touch to your rib recipe.
Step 1
Place the cooking pan in the roaster. Preheat the roaster to 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
