Pork Ribs in Slow Cooker

Pork Ribs in Slow Cooker (cooked in a slow cooker) a simple and delicious recipe to achieve a dish rich in flavor and texture.

Cooking in a slow cooker is ideal for achieving succulent ribs that easily fall off the bone without much effort.

In fact, slow cooking at low temperature allows the collagen in the meat to melt, making the ribs extremely tender and also allows the flavors to develop and intensify.

The slow cooker requires little supervision (if at all), leaving you free to do other things while the ribs cook.
