How To Cook Spare Ribs In The Ninja Cooking System

Mastering the Art of Cooking Spare Ribs in the Ninja Cooking System

Are you ready to embark on a culinary adventure with your Ninja Cooking System? Look no further than cooking mouthwatering spare ribs! Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a beginner in the kitchen, this step-by-step guide will help you achieve restaurant-quality results.

What You’ll Need:

• Ninja Cooking System
• Spare Ribs (baby back, St. Louis-style, or country-style)
• Your favorite dry rub or marinade
• Liquid (broth, apple juice, or water)
• Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.)

Step 1: Preparing the Spare Ribs

Start by preparing the spare ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for maximum tenderness and flavor. Season the ribs generously with your chosen dry rub or marinade. Let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for a more intense flavor).

Step 2: Preheating the Ninja Cooking System

While the spare ribs marinate, preheat your Ninja Cooking System. Set the unit to oven mode and preheat to 250°F (120°C). Allow the system to reach the desired temperature before proceeding to the next step.

Step 3: Cooking the Spare Ribs

Place the marinated spare ribs in the Ninja Cooking System’s cooking pot, making sure they are not overcrowded. If needed, cut the ribs into smaller portions to fit comfortably. Add liquid of your choice (broth, apple juice, or water) to the pot, ensuring it reaches halfway up the ribs.

Pro Tip: For added flavor, you can incorporate seasonings such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any other herbs and spices that complement the flavors of your chosen dry rub or marinade.

Step 4: Slow Cooking the Spare Ribs

Close the Ninja Cooking System’s lid and set the time to 4 hours for baby back ribs or 6 hours for St. Louis-style or country-style ribs. The low and slow cooking method will result in fall-off-the-bone tenderness and allow the flavors to develop to perfection.

Pro Tip: Avoid opening the lid frequently, as this will prolong the cooking time and may affect the tenderness of the spare ribs.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the spare ribs from the Ninja Cooking System. For a caramelized and flavorful crust, brush the ribs with your favorite barbeque sauce or glaze. Place them on a preheated grill or under the broiler for a few minutes until the sauce becomes sticky and slightly charred.

Pro Tip: If you’re short on time or prefer a saucy finish, you can skip the grilling/broiling step and serve the spare ribs directly from the Ninja Cooking System.

Step 6: Serving and Enjoying

Allow the spare ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and ensure optimal flavor and juiciness. Slice the ribs, separating them at the bones, and serve them with your favorite sides like coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted veggies. Sit back, savor the moment, and enjoy the delicious fruits of your labor!

With the Ninja Cooking System by your side, cooking spare ribs has never been easier or more satisfying. Follow these simple steps, adapt the seasonings to your taste, and get ready to impress your family and friends with tender and flavorful spare ribs that will rival any restaurant dish. Happy cooking!
