Recipe FAQ
The main difference is that country style ribs aren’t actually ribs. Rather, they are strips of meat cut from the shoulder area of the pig where the loin meets the shoulder. Although they aren’t really ribs, their flavor and texture is almost identical to true ribs that come from the rib cage of the pig.
Ribs don’t have to be covered with liquid in a slow cooker to cook properly. They actually only need a small amount of liquid to help them cook. However, most crock pot rib recipes have far more liquid in them than that. This is because most rib recipes like this cook the ribs directly in a BBQ sauce mixture.
Yes. Just like traditional ribs, the longer country style ribs cook over low heat, the more the collagen and fat in the meat breaks down. This increases the tenderness and juiciness of the meat.
Pork ribs come in three basic cuts. They are back ribs, spare ribs, and country style ribs.
How to Store and Reheat Leftover Ribs
Refrigerate these ribs for up to 4 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
To reheat the ribs, place them in a baking dish along with the BBQ sauce, cover them, and bake them at 350 until heated through.

I signed up to receive your emails because I like your recipes and have printed several to use. I was wondering why the picture appears on the recipe, but when I click print it doesn’t include the picture as all the other sites do? Can you correct this? Also was wondering why you never have any comments from readers?
Good morning Carol, Thank you so much for your comment. I did not know that the photo is not printing out with the recipe. I’ll look into that. :)
I prefer no photo, because I copy tons of recipes. Photos use up toner/ink, unnecessarily for my purposes. Best solution – offer option, with or without photo for printing. Many sites do offer deletion of photo or certain other deletions to wordage. Just joined. Love your recipes!
Thanks so much MAZ! I’m glad you joined! :)
