Bake pork ribs at 180C for 2 hours wrapped in foil! This makes them tender for 3 days of meal prep. Do not skip the foil cover??

Hello! For standard supermarket pork ribs at 180C, baking them wrapped tightly in foil for about 2 to 2.5 hours works best to get them tender for meal prep. Then open the foil for the last 15 minutes if you want a bit of a crust. Let me know if you need any adjustments!

When I do my weekly batch cooking with supermarket reduced-to-clear ribs, I usually pop them in the oven at 180C. Based on my usual meal prep routine, baking them for about 90 minutes covered in foil works well to keep things moving. However, I often skip checking the internal temperature because I am in a rush. Just make sure you store them properly in your meal prep containers for those three days. It is a great way to save money and get your proteins sorted for the week ahead without spending hours in the kitchen every single night.

back in my day we didn't need all these fancy meal prep guides and air fryers, we just cooked things properly in a regular oven. if you are using cheap supermarket ribs at 180c, just bake them for two hours wrapped up tight, though honestly nobody really knows if three days in the fridge will ruin the texture without freezing them first, eh. just keep them covered and hope for the best.

I always bake mine at 180C, but I am not sure about the exact hours for meal prep... Usually it takes around two hours? It always turned out fine for me...
