From Kalorienpalast

Mark and Timo from Perth have been cooking and writing about food on their blog Kalorienpalast since November 2022, by the motto 'my body is a palace': only calories that are worth it. They made these ribs with a LAVA V.300 White, LAVA bags and a LaVide sous vide stick.

Recipe

Ingredients

1kg pork spareribs, 50g of your favourite barbecue rub (they used Ankerkraut's 'Magic Dust'), 1 bottle of BBQ sauce.

1 · Rub and seal

Coat the ribs all over with the rub, cut them into pieces that fit the bag, and seal them in automatic mode.

Helps: R-Vac bags

2 · 18 hours at 65 °C

Heat the bath to 65 °C and cook the ribs for 18 hours, fully under water. A lid or insulation balls keep the water in overnight.

3 · Sauce and grill, twice

Heat the oven grill. Take the ribs out of the bags, lay them on a tray and brush generously with BBQ sauce. Grill for about 7 minutes without letting the sauce burn, brush again and grill another 7 minutes for a glossy glaze.

Do the ribs need to stay under water?
