Can ribs be cooked in the oven?

Cook ribs in the oven in a baking dish lined with foil or on a baking sheet with a cooling rack placed beneath the ribs to allow air to circulate around the meat. Cover the ribs with aluminum foil to prevent them from drying out, if desired.

When cooking ribs in the oven, season and dress them the same way as for preparation on a grill, using dry rubs, barbecue sauces and other seasonings such as liquid smoke. Bake a full rack of ribs at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for up to three hours, depending on the size, and cover them with aluminum foil at the start of cooking or midway through cooking to allow the edges of the meat to caramelize and become crispy.
