Introduction
Cooking pork ribs in the oven is a great way to get fall-off-the-bone tender ribs. This method is foolproof and requires minimal prep, so it’s perfect for weeknight meals.
When cooking pork ribs in the oven you’ll want to make sure that your baking sheet is on a rack in center of oven and that you preheat it to 450 degrees F before adding meat. You can also use an aluminum foil-lined roasting pan if preferred, but I recommend placing them directly on a rack because they tend not to stick as much when they’re off the bottom (plus they don’t take up any extra room!). Next, simply spray both sides of ribs with vegetable spray or brush them with oil before placing them on baking sheet/roasting pan then cook for 10 to 15 minutes turning once halfway through cooking time; check one rib at this point just incase 10 minutes wasn’t enough then return back into oven if needed until meat becomes tender when pierced with fork easily).
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Use an oven thermometer to make sure the temperature is correct. If you have a convection oven, set it to convection bake; if you are using a gas oven, turn on the oven and then light the burners.

To determine the cooking time needed for your particular cut of pork ribs, use these guidelines:
- Baby back ribs (1lb) – 20-25 mins
- Country style pork ribs (1lb) – 25-30 mins
It will take around an hour to cook the ribs
It will take around an hour to cook the ribs. You can use a meat thermometer to determine their doneness, but don’t insert it into the meat until they’re done cooking. If you do this too early in the process, it’ll give you false readings and lead to overcooked or undercooked ribs.
