I've tried Doc's pressure cooker method and it works surprisingly well and doesn't come across as "boiled" ribs, even though they look weird when they come out of the pressure cooker (grayish).
On that note, for the sake of all that's holy in BBQ, please don't boil your ribs in stock. It's just wrong, bordering on sacrilege!
thanks everybody - encouraging feedback, really appreciated - I'm interested n trying the pressure cooker or boil in stock methods now :0,
Girls are happy to get left over ribs tonight while we head out for birthday dinners
