How to Cook Pork Side Ribs in the Oven | Wrapped vs Unwrapped

Описание: Pork side ribs are a classic comfort meal, and they’re easier to make than you might think. In this video, we show you two simple ways to cook them in the oven — wrapped in foil for juicy, fall-apart tenderness, or unwrapped on a rack for a drier, more barbecue-style rib.

We keep it basic so anyone can try this at home. All you need are side ribs, your favourite seasoning rub, and an oven. At Big Bend Market, we carry a variety of rubs in-store, but you can use whatever blend you like best — sweet, smoky, spicy, or simple salt and pepper.

🍴 Cooking Method:

1. Preheat oven to 275F
2. Unpack and pat dry ribs
3. Add generous amount of seasoning or rub
4. Wrapped ribs: Cover with tin foil to lock in steam and create tender, moist meat. Unwrapped ribs: Place ribs on a rack in your roasting pan to keep them dry while cooking for a firmer texture.
5. Bake at 275F for 3 hours
6. Check that meat pulls easily from the bones, add sauce directly on the rack and broil on high until sauce bubbles and is slightly caramelized or serve sauce on the side.

Either way, you’ll end up with a delicious rack of pork side ribs straight from your oven. Perfect for an easy family dinner or weekend treat.
