Recipe File:Prepare barbecue ribs indoors

MANILA, Philippines - Barbecued ribs are always a much-awaited treat in any household. But with the onset of the rainy season, grilling the best ribs is next to impossible.

Fortunately, baking is an equally tasty alternative to making barbecues. Oven-cooked meat items stay tender because they retain the natural moisture that is lost in grilling. Plus, you get uniformly cooked dishes without burnt parts.

Chef Eugene Raymundo shares that to ensure no-mess marinating, use the Glad Freezer Zipper Bag.

“It’s very convenient to use since it seals in all the flavors of both marinade and meat, cutting marinating time in half. Just like in baking, wrapping the meat in durable Glad Aluminum Foil also helps prevent dried-out meats because it traps the moisture and the flavors in, just like in a pressure cooker, to hasten the cooking process,” the chef adds.

Don’t let the rainy season keep you from making barbecue dishes. Stay indoors and discover the joys of baked barbecue.
