How to make it

  • HELP!!!!!!!!!! Please - someone who can figure this one out. My sister and her entire family are waiting til I hear from ya'll to eat their dinner. She made an inter net recipe that said to basically add the barbecue sauce to ribs and wrap tightly in plastic wrap - then to wrap that all tightly in aluminum foil and to cook in a low oven for 3 hours. She ahs done it and the ribs looks and smell delicious and ar falling off the bone. The kids and the husband are hungry but she is worreid for them to eat it because the plastic wrap has completely disappeared. Is the meat safe to eat? Where did the plastic wrap go? Did it just melt into the aluminum foil or did it somehow melt into the meat. She has two young sons like me. Don't want to make anyone sick but - if there is no danger - they want to eat their dinner. Please answer me now, if you don't mind. She is waiting

    We use plastic covered with aluminum foil often in restaurants, when we are baking foods in the oven. The plastic makes a solid seal with the pan. We bake rice, ribs etc. But I do say that the plastic is intact when we remove the foil. I would say the lack of moisture is what made the plastic dissolve. The ribs should have been placed on a cookie sheet with some moisture (liquid smoke, vinegar and water is my remedy). Just enough moisture to create a steaming effect. Then wrapped with plastic and then aluminum foil. I use this method in the winter when I don't want to smoke the meat out in the cold for hours.

    I wonder if they did a typo....maybe the recipe meant to say "add the BBQ sauce and wrap in plactic to Marinate" I know friends that have done this but they removed the plastic before cooking.

    DO NOT EAT THE RIBS! IF THE PLASTIC DISSOLVED, TROUBLE! NEVER COOK IN PLASTIC!

    Did she check the foil to see if the wrap was there? If it melted into the food, I just don't think I would want to eat it. Just my thoughts.
    I would post this question in suggestions.
