Cooking Instructions

How to Cook Bacon Ribs

Bacon ribs are best cooked slowly until tender. Place the ribs in a large pan, cover with cold water and bring gently to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for around 1½–2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Alternatively, braise in a covered dish at 170°C / 150°C fan / Gas 3 for around 2–2½ hours with a little water, stock or other cooking liquid.

For a caramelised finish, brush with your chosen glaze or sauce and finish in a hot oven or under the grill for a few minutes. Cook until piping hot throughout before serving.

Product FAQs

Frequently asked questions about this product:

What are bacon ribs?

Bacon ribs are pork belly ribs that have been cured like bacon. This gives them the rich, savoury flavour of dry-cured bacon while retaining the meaty texture of pork ribs.

What is the difference between bacon ribs and normal pork ribs?

The main difference is that bacon ribs have been cured before cooking. Fresh pork ribs have a milder pork flavour, while bacon ribs have a saltier, deeper cured-bacon flavour.

What is the best way to cook bacon ribs?

Bacon ribs are best cooked slowly until tender. They can be gently simmered, braised or slow cooked, then finished at a higher heat if you want a browned or glazed outside.

Do bacon ribs need extra salt?

Usually not. Bacon ribs are already cured with salt, so it is best to cook them first and taste before adding any extra seasoning.

Why do bacon ribs require extra preparation time?

Our bacon ribs are cured to order by our butchers. Please allow around 4–5 days for preparation and curing before dispatch.

How much do the bacon ribs weigh?

Each pack contains approximately a 1kg rack of cured pork belly ribs.
