Best rib recipe

Well I have 4 pounds of baby back ribs but it is cold and blowing outside so slow cooking them on the BBQ all day is out of the question. What are your favorite, non-BBQ (I know that sounds stupid) recipe? I know most of you southerners cook your ribs religiously! I need some good tips.

the first steps in my recipe were i in your postition would be:
1. build a wind break
2. Grow a pair
3. Get out and BBQ

if you ain't gonna slow cook them ribs correctly then put em back in the freezer till spring.

On a more serious note season them up with your favorite spices, i usually rub the ribs with yellow mustard then a mixture of brown sugar, cumin, salt, pepper, cayenne, and whatever other spices i feel like that day. Then you can put them in a roasting pan, preferrably elevated off the bottom then slow cook them in the oven for a while, when they are done put the broiler on and either caramelize the brown sugar that is on there now or add barbecue sauce and allow to caramelize. Not as good as pit cooked but they will do.

Ribs! Lucky you! I've never ate baby backs that were not BBQ'd.

Now i'm curious how you are gonna cook em.

2 pounds baby back ribs (in your case, you can obviously double this recipe)
1-18 ounce bottle barbecue sauce (I use my own homemade recipe)

Directions:
Tear off 4 pieces of aluminum foil big enough to enclose each portion of ribs. Spray each piece of foil with vegetable cooking spray. Brush the ribs liberally with barbeque sauce and place each portion in its own piece of foil. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours...or overnight.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Bake ribs wrapped tightly in the foil for 2 1/2 hours. Remove from foil and add more sauce...if desired.

I then throw them under the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes...but you don't need to do that.

The meat will be super tender and will fall off the bone.

This isn't a bad way to go. The key is to cook them SLOW!

Well they are being slow cooked in a crock pot right now on low for 5 hours. We had a break in weather so its just cold and not as windy s o I might BBQ them after. For the sauce in the crockpot I used 2 cups of BBQ sauce, 1.5 cups of beer, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and some douces of habanero pepper sauce. tossed some onion and garlic in too. Probably cook on low for 5 hours then either broil/BBQ with more sauce.

I usually boil mine for 15 minutes, let them cool add dry rub and BBQ on low. Add BBQ suace the last 15 minutes. Meat falls off the bone!

My just cooked some in the oven for the first time ever (we all are wondering how good they would be) it was very similar to how fingas74 stated. put the oven as low as it could go and put them in there all day. They ended up pretty good. not a BBQ but it worked.

****edit*****
I believe meat should never be boiled, ever!!!!

Any Euros hanging out. They have a method in Western Europe i've seen, where they put wood in a bar-b-que, light it on fire, and then, when the fire dies, they put the meat on for about 20 minutes. Thats it. The meat is covered in sea salt and garlice. The salt falls off, mostly, but it makes it tender during the cooking. Anyone know this method? The results are good, but different. No sauce, just meat.
