Cooking ribs in the oven is a popular and convenient method that allows for precise temperature control and even cooking. It involves placing the ribs on a baking sheet or roasting pan, seasoning them with a rub or marinade, and then roasting them in a preheated oven until they are tender and fall-off-the-bone.
The cooking time for ribs in the oven can vary depending on the size, thickness, and type of ribs used. Generally, a full rack of baby back ribs will take about 2-3 hours to cook at 300-325F (149-163C), while spare ribs may take 3-4 hours at the same temperature. It is important to check the internal temperature of the ribs using a meat thermometer to ensure they have reached a safe internal temperature of 145F (63C) before consuming them.
