Here we go - outside the box again!!!

Lemme get this straight...you had some smoked ribs in the freezer; you thawed 'em and cut the meat off the bones and chopped it; then you put the meat  and some ACV + water into the slow cooker for 6 hours.  That sounds pretty straight forward...now the questions remain:
1. high or low setting on the CP?
2. how much liquid?
3. does it turn to mush when cooked like that?
I have some ribs in the freezer that I could turn into gift packs - the rib meat sure tastes better than shoulder meat, so I'll give it a try.
Lemme know...

You're at the top of the food chain...eat like it!

I thawed the 2 racks for about 2 days, cut them in half, and put in a crock pot (bone side down) with about a 1/4 cup of ACV and a similar amount of water for moisture.

6-ish hours on low.

Pull the bones out, and rough chop the rest.

The meat was still firm - no mush.

Easy peasy!


Those containers pictured are from KFC.   I think they serve mashed potatoes in them for the kids meals. (they came from my wife's old school)  Roughly 4oz each - a nice sized sandwich.
