Cooking Instructions

Russell’s Reserve™ Fully Cooked Ribs are delicious prepared in a variety of ways. To ensure you have the most exceptional experience, please consider the following:

  • Because ovens, grills, and microwaves cook differently, times are approximate.
  • Although Russell’s Reserve™ ribs are freezable, do not cook ribs from frozen state. Placing ribs in sink filled with cool water will quickly thaw ribs (15-30 minutes).


Grill (Russell’s preferred method)

  1. Preheat charcoal or gas grill.
  2. Remove ribs from packaging.
  3. Place ribs, bone side down on grill. Heat on Medium – High heat covered for 8-10 minutes or uncovered for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently until hot. After each side has been face down on grill, you may brush ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce as desired.
  4. Remove from grill & cut ribs into desired portions.
  5. Serve and Enjoy!
*Thicker Ribs may take up to 10 minutes longer.*


Oven

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Remove ribs from bag & place ribs, bone side down, on center of greased, large shallow baking pan.
  3. Place ribs in oven for 15-20 minutes.
  4. *Optional* Remove ribs from oven and add desired amount of BBQ sauce on both sides of ribs. Make sure to place ribs on baking sheet with bone side down.
  5. Place ribs back in oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until ribs are hot.
  6. Remove from oven, cut ribs into desired portions.
  7. Serve and Enjoy!


Microwave

  1. Remove ribs from packaging.
  2. Cut ribs into 3-4 serving pieces (2-3 ribs each).
  3. Place ribs, bone side down, in microwave-safe dish (overlapping pieces as necessary).
  4. Cover ribs in your favorite BBQ sauce. Loosely cover dish with plastic wrap.
  5. Microwave on High 8-10 minutes or until ribs are hot. Let stand 2 minutes. Carefully remove ribs from microwave, remove plastic wrap. Careful, hot steam will escape.
