Hi guys, I've got a full rack of pork ribs in my fridge and a bottle of BBQ sauce I'm dying to marinate them in. While I'd love to be able to smoke them, I'm in a flat and it isn't feasible. All I have is my oven and a bunch of metal cookware. I've tried several times in the past and while they're okay ribs, they're a far cry from real ribs that I've had before, in the US.

Can someone please tell me how can I get tasty, moist, falling-off-the-bone ribs using that BBQ sauce, any other kind of rub I could put together, and most importantly, just a normal electric fan oven? Or at least as near as dammit?

Thin the sauce out with some worchestershire sauce or cider vinegar, maybe throw in some red pepper flakes, molasses or something for some extra flavor. Set your oven to ~120-140 celsius (250-275 F). Give the meat a good coating of vegetable oil and salt it well. Brush on a nice coating of the sauce. Stick it in the oven and leave it the hell alone for the next 90-120 minutes. At that time, hit the top side with more sauce and turn over. Every hour or so give it another baste and turn until done. This will take most of the day, shoot for 87-93 internal temp (190-200 F). Oh, and put some foil down on the pans or you'll never get them clean.

A light application of liquid smoke can go a long way. You can also pouchbraise in foil if you don't want to do excessive basting. When tender remove from foil, glaze with the aforementioned sauce and stick it under the broiler for a few minutes. Edit: be sure to watch it under the broiler. Things can go from deliciously caramelized to burnt very quickly.

Until the inside reads 165F. Yes. Broiling is unidirectional cooking. You need to flip. It may not be the best way to cook them as your skin may be burnt before the inside is done.

I also read in Ratio that you can also make stock in the over at a very low setting to get that bare simmer, but the crock pot is much more convenient. I'll leave my apartment with the crock pot on, but not my stove.

Boeuf Bourguinion

last night I tried to make it, and after 4+ hours I had to admit I failed miserably.
The stuff burned (not bad, but a lot of the beef got stuck to the bottom while simmering, giving it a hard texture, and that cannot be undone)

Not completely sure why this happened, as I make these type of dishes a lot (on the same little burner), although not boeuf bourguinion specifically...

My guess is that it has to do with:
1. the cubing of the meat (I normally simmer larger pieces of meat)
2. the relatively new pan that might be failing on me.

Anyway, I will be trying again tonight, as it's for a guest, and I do not want to stand in the kitchen when she's here.
Now, my questions are these:

a. do you have an alternative recipe (cause I just cannot think of anything else right now, but I'm not particularly looking forward to another round of boeuf bourguinion making).

b. any hints, pointers or tips for Boeuf Bourguinion in general?
(so far I learned that I did not like the addition of a little tomato puree, and I did like the addition of some of those little pickled onions (after rinsing them with water) as that looks and tastes very nice)

I cut it into matchsticks with some carrots (3:2), then fill up a small mason jar with 1:1 of water and rice vinegar, add a teaspoon of salt, one of brown sugar, add some pepper and coriander, and a couple of cloves of garlic. One daikon will give you 4-5 small mason jars. Make sure you refrigerate it, I never tried keeping them on a shelf with this recipe so I don't know how safe it is.

For simple vegetable stir fries I like green beans, jalapeños, dried mushrooms, bok choy, and zucchini. You should also try it with scallions instead of onions. Spinach is a nice treat, as well. But stir frying is a technique, not a dish, so it's not just a matter of changing ingredients.

When I stir fry vegetables, I usually just use a bit of sesame oil and salt as seasoning. Sometimes I'll throw in chilies, as well, especially with green beans. Here's a quick recipe for dry-fried green beans. Cook them in hot oil for about 6 minutes on medium-low heat in a wok, then set aside. Then heat the wok, add some oil, and stir-fry on high heat some chilies, Sichuan pepper, garlic, ginger, and scallions. Quickly, until fragrant. Add the beans, stir fry briefly, then serve.

When I suffered apartment living, I got a Weber Spirit. It's made of high quality materials, has cast iron grates, and is pretty easy to put together. My only complaint is that the three burners are front/middle/back and I'd much prefer them to be left/middle/right.

That said, we have a house now, the spirit is on my back patio, and I used it several times a week still.

Peel and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Generously sprinkle with some salt, exact measurements don't matter because you're going to let it sit for a while (15-20 min) in a colander to drain and then rinse it off. Put the cubes in a bowl or a jar. Mix together equal parts sugar, white vinegar, and water until the sugar is dissolved and pour it over the radish cubes until they're all submerged. Let it sit in the vinegar mixture for at least an hour and it'll be good to go. This pickle is what you usually get with korean fried chicken. It'll keep in the fridge for a few days.

I'm on my phone, so I can't really search for it, but is there a thread/website for recipes of vegetables as sides? I'm sick of the generic corn, green beans, etc that we always end up getting because I have no clue how to cook anything else.

Also, besides the 'Go Dairy Free' website/book, is there any good websites/cook books that are non vegan non dairy recipes? I have a dairy allergy, and most websites for dairy free are vegan. Which is fine and all, but Mr. Lullabee has pretty much said he cant quit eating meat. Or rather, doesn't want too. Thanks for the help.

Onions (deyhydrated), salt, cornstarch, onion powder, sugar, corn syrup, hydrolyzed soy protein, caramel color, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, monosodium glutamate, yeast extract, natural flavors, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate.

So, mostly dehydrated onions, some salt and sugar? Looks like a touch of yeast as well.

I bought some shiritaki tofu noodles...now I need to know what to do with them for dinner tomorrow.

I have some chicken I also want to use.

I was thinking of rinsing the noodles, then cooking them briefly in chicken stock to impart the flavor into the noodles, pan searing the chicken, and serving on top of the noodles.

Yay/nay? Any other ideas? I could stop at the store after work to pick up some other stuff but I definitely want to use the chicken.

Maybe a stir fry of some sort? Not too sure what sauce I would use, though...

Definitely rinse the shirataki noodles, but I would also toast them before adding anything else.

As far as sauces for stir fries.. the sky is the limit. I've had better luck using shirataki noodles in asian-inspired dishes rather than european, so things like sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and suchlike would probably not go amiss. Although I add garlic to just about everything ever.
