Thrice-cooked BBQ Pork Spare Ribs

You can cook ribs over a low slow grill for hours and hours, or more quickly you can cook them consecutively in the microwave, oven and then finish on the grill.

The first method is classic and arguably the best.  The second is fast and arguably still delicious.  This faster method cooks them through and through, and maintains moisture, so they are fork tender.  It also allows for good marination for that deep flavor you cherish with ribs. If you only have about an hour - not six, to cook ribs, try this.
2 racks of pork spare ribs
2 cups favorite BBQ sauce

Preheat oven to 350F. Place ribs in a microwaveable dish, meat side down. It's OK if you have to cut the racks in half to fit a casserole that fits your microwave. And it's OK if some of the ribs overlap. Microwave for 10 minutes. Flip racks and microwave another 10 minutes. Remove dish from oven.

Pour about half the sauce evenly on the ribs, spreading well with a brush. Cover casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile heat grill to medium. Now finish the ribs on the grill, placing meat-side down for about 7-8 minutes, Flip ribs, baste with sauce and finish them over very low heat for another 7-8 minutes.

These puppies will melt in your mouth!
