❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Country Style Spare Ribs
1. What exactly are country style ribs?
Country style ribs are not actually ribs. They are cut from the pork shoulder, near the blade end. This makes them very meaty and tender, perfect for slow cooking.

Yes, you can. After searing the ribs, place them in a slow cooker and pour the sauce over them. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until tender.

The ribs are done when they are fork tender. You should be able to easily pull the meat apart with a fork. The internal temperature should be at least 190 degrees Fahrenheit for the best texture.
