Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the ribs in a Dutch oven or other oven-safe pot. Just be sure to cover the pot tightly and cook the ribs over low heat.
- When brushing the ribs with sauce before baking, be sure to use a heat-resistant brush.
- If the sauce starts to burn, add a little bit of water or vinegar to the pan.
