Introduction
Cooking pork ribs in the oven is a great way to make sure that you get a tender and juicy rib every time. However, cooking time varies depending on how big your rack of ribs is and how hot you have your oven set. This article will tell you everything that you need to know about cooking pork ribs in the oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 45 minutes per pound: from pre-heating the oven, to putting them on a rack while they bake off in the heat.
Cook the pork ribs for about an hour at 350.
You can cook the pork ribs in the oven for about an hour at 350 degrees.
It’s best to allow the ribs to marinate overnight, but if you don’t have time for that, don’t worry–they’ll still come out delicious!
Cook pork ribs in the oven at 350 for 45 minutes per pound.
The cooking time for pork ribs in the oven is one hour per pound. However, this rule of thumb may not apply to all racks of ribs. The size of your rack will affect how long it takes to cook through and tenderize. For example, if you’re using a small rack (about 2 pounds), it’ll take about 45 minutes to reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit at 350 degrees F. But if you have 4 pounds or more on hand? That’s going to take closer to two hours!
Move the pork ribs to the oven and cook until they are done.
Now that the pork ribs are marinated, it’s time to put them in the oven and cook until they’re done. The easiest way to test if your pork ribs are done is with a meat thermometer; insert it into one of the thicker bones on top of each rack and make sure that it reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). If you don’t have a meat thermometer handy, you can also use an instant-read thermometer or simply touch one end of each bone with your finger–if it feels firm but not hard all across its length, then your pork is ready!
Wrap the ends of the probe thermometer with aluminum foil if you have a thin probe so that it doesn’t burn when inserted into the meat.
Wrap the ends of the probe thermometer with aluminum foil if you have a thin probe so that it doesn’t burn when inserted into the meat. If you don’t have aluminum foil, use a paper towel. The probe thermometer should be inserted into the meat not resting on top of it and in the thickest part of your pork ribs (not against bone).
See if your probe thermometer is not working right, or if you have a digital probe thermometer that doesn’t make a beeping sound when it reaches your desired temperature.
If your probe thermometer is not working right, or if you have a digital probe thermometer that doesn’t make a beeping sound when it reaches your desired temperature, check to see if the probe is inserted into the meat properly.
If it isn’t inserted all the way into the thickest part of your pork ribs (about 1/2 inch or 1 cm), then there will be no reading and therefore no way for you to know if they are done yet!
Put some foil under your pork ribs in case they start to drip while they’re cooking.
If you’re cooking pork ribs in the oven, it’s a good idea to put some foil under them. The reason for this is that when ribs cook, they tend to drip and make a mess of your oven. If there’s foil underneath the rack on which they’re sitting, most of those drips will stay on top of it instead of splattering onto your stovetop or floor (and possibly burning). This can save you from having to clean up after yourself later!
Cooking time depends on the size of your rack of ribs–one hour per pound is a rule of thumb but different sizes require more or less time
The cooking time depends on the size of your rack of ribs–one hour per pound is a rule of thumb but different sizes require more or less time. You can use a probe thermometer to check for doneness, or cut into one of the ribs with a knife and make sure that it’s tender throughout.
Conclusion
Cooking pork ribs in the oven at 350 can be a little tricky, but it’s easy if you know what to look for. First of all, make sure that your probe thermometer works properly and is reading the right temperature before you start cooking. You also want to check if there is any foil on top of your ribs because this could be causing them not to cook properly! Finally, pay attention to how long each set takes and adjust accordingly when cooking more than one batch at once
