Frequently Asked Questions
How long should ribs be in the air fryer?
The cooking time for ribs in an air fryer can vary based on the type and thickness of the ribs. Generally, baby back ribs take about 25-30 minutes at 375°F (190°C) to become tender. St. Louis-style or spare ribs might take a bit longer, around 30-35 minutes.
Always ensure they reach an internal temperature of 190°F (88°C) for the best tenderness.
How do you keep ribs moist in an air fryer?
To keep ribs moist in an air fryer:
- Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This allows the meat to absorb more marinade or rub, keeping it juicy.
- Marinate or rub the ribs with a mixture of spices and let them sit for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
- During the cooking process, you can brush the ribs with some apple juice or a mix of vinegar and water to keep them moist.
- Avoid overcooking, as this can dry out the meat.
How long does it take to crisp ribs in an air fryer?
To achieve a crispy exterior on your ribs, after they are cooked through, increase the air fryer's temperature to 400°F (205°C) and cook them for an additional 3-5 minutes. This will give the ribs a nice crispy outer layer without overcooking the inside.
How to cook ribs in a 360 air fryer?
Cooking ribs in a 360 air fryer follows a similar method to other air fryers:
- Start by preheating your 360 air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare your ribs by removing the membrane, applying your choice of rub or marinade, and letting them marinate for a few hours or overnight.
- Place the ribs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overlapping.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes for baby back ribs or 30-35 minutes for St. Louis-style ribs, flipping them halfway through.
- For a crispy finish, increase the temperature to 400°F (205°C) and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Always check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 190°F (88°C) for optimal tenderness.
- Remember, cooking times can vary based on the specific model of your air fryer and the size of the ribs, so it's always a good idea to monitor them closely the first time you try a new recipe.
