💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes
- Cook time varies by the size of the ribs and the model of the slow cooker used. Your ribs are done when they are practically fall-apart tender when poked with a knife or fork.
- Storing: Store leftover pork ribs in a shallow airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To freeze, wrap them tightly in foil (once they have cooled) and place them in a heavy-duty freezer bag. Use within 3 months.
- Reheating: Thaw frozen ribs in the fridge overnight. Place leftover ribs in a baking dish with a splash of broth and cover them with foil. Bake at 250˚F (120˚C) until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
