Notes
How do you know if the ribs are done?
When cooking ribs or any meat with a bone in it, you want to make sure the meat "almost" falls off the bone.
It is possible to overcook ribs, and while you can cook them on high in the slow cooker, I recommend cooking them on low for 6-7 hours.
If the meat is literally falling off the bones, it has more than likely been overcooked. You want the meat to come off with light pressure.
Best placement for ribs in a slow cooker:
You can do a couple different options. You can curl the ribs along the walls of the slow cooker.
If your ribs are too long, you can slice them and stack them in your slow cooker as well.
