umm..perhaps you didn't read my post thoroughly..I did boil them in oil :)

I'm not looking to store in a "preserve" type of condition, I just wanted to have cloves available for whenever I'm cooking and want to pluck one or two out of the jar to use for steak, sauce etc. When I buy whole cloves, I never end up using all of them before they start to sprout or dry up...

Hi, I've read a lot about not storing garlic in olive oil because of the possibility of botulism but most of it appears to refer to raw garlic. I've boiled a half pound of cloves in hot oil till they became soft and just lightly browned around the edges, about 30 minutes. Does this run the...

Hi texasgirl, You didn't specify whether you wanted a spicy or hot or sweet or zesty type of rub or marinade. for rubs, any mixture of the following would do nice. paprika, sweet or hot salt black pepper cayenne pepper garlic powder garlic salt onion powder sugar brown sugar chili powder...

I would think an acidic marinade (such as the cola I used), achieves the desired result of breaking down the tougher, fibrous membranes that holds the ribs together. Perhaps not tenderizing in the strictest sense, but definitely breaking down the proteins so that you're not biting into fatty...

Hi htc, Have you marinaded the beef ribs before cooking? They have tougher membrane than pork ribs do and you might need to tenderize them up a bit in order to help the meat fall off the bone. Also, did you cook them low and slow..they need the same type of delicate handling as the pork ribs...

Hello Friends, Thank you all for your replies to this topic, I wanted to make a couple of comments before I get to the ribs. Some people had mentioned smoking/grilling the ribs here. I do not own a grill and wanted opinions on oven cooking. I have plenty of recipes on finishing ribs on the...

GB, I'm from the North Shore..Peabody to be exact :) I'll let you all know how they turn out..they still soaking in the marinade :cool:

Thank you all for the quick replies :) Looks like they'll be getting braised first! Chris Boston, Ma.

Hello, Wanted to pose a question and get some feedback before I proceed with my plans. I have some pork spareribs currently marinating in cola. Going to pull them out and put a rub on them soon. As I do not have a charcoal or gas grill, , I'm going to do these in the oven. I have 2 ways of...
