Types of Ribs

When it comes to making the best ribs, choosing the right cut is key to achieving that perfect, fall-off-the-bone tenderness and mouthwatering flavor. There are several types of ribs to consider, each bringing something unique to your table.

Baby back ribs are a favorite for many rib lovers. These back ribs are known for their tender meat and slightly sweet flavor, making them ideal for oven baked ribs or slow cooking. Their curved shape and lean texture mean they cook quickly and pair beautifully with a sweet and spicy BBQ sauce or a classic dry rub. If you're looking for a ribs recipe that delivers juicy, tender ribs every time, baby back ribs are a delicious choice.

Spare ribs offer a meatier, more robust option. With a bit more fat and a deeper flavor, spare ribs are perfect for those who love a hearty bite. They stand up well to bold spice rubs and smoky barbecue sauce, making them a great pick for slow cooking or grilling. St. Louis-style ribs, a trimmed version of spare ribs, are also popular for their uniform shape and rich taste.
