Foiling question

I like to use the 3-2-1 method when doing my ribs. When doing a large number of ribs it can obviously be time consuming to individually foil a bunch of racks. Can you get the same results from putting the racks in a large aluminum pan and covering it with foil?

Thanks.

When I foil, I wrap the ribs tightly after adding exactly 2 ounces of apple juice per slab. I also cook them meat side down. This differs greatly from simply "tenting" them - which steams them. My method is more like braising.

IMHO, you may see some differences between the two techniques. worst case in BBQ is that you get to eat the failures.

If they really get overcooked, throw the meat in some beans... Or open a national franchise restaurant for ribs. Wink

I also think placing them in a pan is O.K.
I have tried with great results stacking the ribs 3 racks per foil pack,It saved on time and money and worked real well.
