I want to gift someone ribs. Specifically, St Louis style ribs that I will smoke. Lets just say, these people have no time to cook during the week (both parents work plus 3 kids etc).
I want to make the ribs and freeze them. I will give it to them frozen. They can toss it in the freezer and use it when they want it.
My plan
1. make my ribs as usual
2. let cool to room temp
3. vacuum racks individually
4. Freeze
5. give them away with instructions
Instructions for friends
6. place on kitchen counter in the morning to defrost
7. In the evening remove from plastic
8. apply some store bought BBQ sauce with brush
9. wrap in foil
10. put in oven 200 degrees for 1 hr
11. optional - remove from foil after an hour and caramelize by placing in broiler 1 min each side.
Anyone have any suggestions or know a better way to do it?
I have not made the ribs yet so anything goes here. Normally I do St Louis 225 degrees about 4 to 5 hrs, no sauce, no foil, rub is sugar heavy, I use meatheads magic dust rub recipe.
thanks in advance
