Cooking pre-cooked ribs: Yes, you can still use the grill!

One reason so many Tony Roma’s Ribs fans buy our pre-cooked ribs is because they don’t have the time to slow-cook ribs from scratch. Rib lovers know that great-tasting ribs require tender-loving care and lots of time.

Tony Roma’s does the smoking, cooking and saucing for you, and you just heat and eat! But that doesn’t mean you have to give up that crispy, hot-off-the-grill taste. You can still use your grill to add that extra bit of barbecue flavor, and be sitting down to plate of ribs and sides in just 10 minutes!

Tony Roma’s pre-cooked Baby Back Ribs, Spare Ribs, Boneless Ribs and St. Louis Style Spare Ribs can be prepared in a conventional oven, in the microwave or on the grill. Cooking times vary by rib cut and cooking method, but the constant is making sure the internal temperature of the ribs reaches 165°.

Using the grill for final cooking of pre-cooked ribs can add that extra flavor that comes with the true BBQ experience. Whether you’re using a gas grill or charcoal grill, the secret to preparing your Tony Roma’s Ribs on the grill is to turn the ribs frequently and let that delicious Tony Roma’s sauce begin to caramelize on the outside of the ribs.

No matter which cut of pre-cooked ribs you buy, once you get the grill to medium high heat, you’ll only need 7-10 minutes of cooking directly over the fire to get the internal temperature of the ribs to 165° and have the BBQ sauce begin to bubble and sear. The result is homemade, restaurant-quality taste in just minutes – instead of hours.
