    Shortribs, your favourite recipe.

    I steamed them for 2 hours and then used the sauce from the recipe I found yesterday. I gave them a hour simmering with the sauce. They turned out marvelous, The bones pretty much fell out during the steaming. All in all the ribs were a success. Thanks guys.

    Shortribs, your favourite recipe.

    I have a rack from another pan that will keep the ribs about an inch and a half from the bottom of the pan so steaming the ribs shouldn't be a problem. I'll give it a shot using the sauce mixture I brought. The ribs are steaming right now.

    You mean like dipping the chicken in skim milk and dredging it in cream of wheat........No, there is a chance that might be crispy and we can't have that. Maybe just cook the chicken in unsweetened Vanilla pudding......No, I think we have to work on this....:lol:
