FoodSaver them ribs??

FS bags or the rolls are very durable. I've sealed whole racks cooked/uncooked and have yet to break a bag with a bone tip. They also do a great job reheating ribs (or anything else) in a microwave as long as you use a medium power setting.

Sure wish I bought a FS a long time ago. They're great. WalMart website has the best deal on the 11"x18' rolls....5 pack @ $42.88

Thanks for the rib help and the tip on bags! I bought a FS years ago, with the plan being buying food in bulk, but that didn't last long. Since the BBQ bug hit, the FS is getting more use. Wish it was more counter friendly though. I had bought lots of rolls of bags from BJs way back when.

Gonna pull a few racks out of the freezer for this weekend!!

Pigskin,
I've FS'd whole (or nearly whole...buurrrppp) rib racks. The bags are tough and I've never had one tear.
While I won't say a person should not microwave, if I have a choice I prefer heating my leftover ribs in water. I just throw the bag in a big pan of heated water. Unfortunately, the seal on a FS bag is not guaranteed. Grease on the seal area can mean a leak. The leak may only become apparent over time as the bag allows air to enter in the fridge/freezer or in hot water.
I've only sprung a leak once when warming them in water. I have had several FS bags allow air to enter as they sat in the freezer. As soon as I noticed it the meat was removed and eaten.
FWIW, I now work harder to remove grease from the sealing area. I also seal my FS bags multiple times on each end.
I know this is probably too much work for most people. It's just me and my small family so it's not so much work.

More great tips, thanks Grubmeister!

About how long does it take to reheat in water?

Whether you reheat via microwave or water, you want to employ gentle heat or the bag seal may give way.

Time (either method) is determined by weight/volume. I usually will bag up spares or BB's by the half rack. Pulled pork or brisket about 1/2 lb. @ bag. Once defrosted, about 10 minutes in simmering water will suffice. If using a microwave...give it 2 minutes @ medium power...wait a minute and repeat.

These are only my guidelines. Your mileage may vary so watch it closely the first few times.

I find that when heating in water, do not put the bag in boiling water. Let the bag and water come to temp together. The seal seems to stay intact better this way.
