RIBS

How many people does one slab feed?

Each slab contains 12-14 bones. One slab can feed up to 2 people.

How do I heat the ribs?

Each box contains reheating instructions. The ribs are fully-cooked and seasoned. If ribs are still frozen, allow ribs to thaw before reheating. We suggest heating the ribs on the grill or in the oven. Preheat oven to around 350 degrees. Place the ribs on some aluminum foil and heat for around 20 minutes. Remember, you are simply heating the ribs--not cooking them. Once reheated, we suggest using the following basting solution:

• 1 part water
• 1 part white distilled vinegar
• 1 part Rendezvous sauce
• 1 T Rendezvous seasoning

What should I serve with the ribs and shoulder?

We suggest our mustard-based coleslaw and our barbecue baked beans.

Can I refreeze the ribs once they have been delivered to my house?

Yes – for up to 6 months. (For optimal taste and quality, it is best not to refreeze.)

How long are the ribs good in the fridge?

Up to 7 days.

How long does it take for the ribs to thaw out?

Completely frozen ribs take about a day in the fridge or a couple hours on the counter to thaw. We suggest thawing before reheating.

Are these ribs dry?

No, our ribs are as moist as they come. The ribs are fully-cooked in our pits, basted with our basting juice, seasoned and then frozen. Each box includes a bottle of our barbecue sauce and a bottle of our barbecue seasoning so you can prepare the ribs to your liking.

How is the meat packaged?
