IS Holiday Party… Ribs

We had our yearly Info Sys holiday party yesterday at work. I was one of six who volunteered to do the main course, ribs.  I spent a few days perfecting a sauce, and did a practice batch the weekend before Thanksgiving.  I took some photos to share from the prep work Wednesday night and cooking Thursday morning.  Six racks is a lot of food, and I had to get creative on cooking them all the same without a container large enough for them all. I know what you’re probably thinking, and no, the oven did not get as messy as it looks like it would.  The heating element in this oven is hidden underneath a flat metal sheet rather than being exposed on the bottom, so I just lined the whole bottom part with foil and used it as one big roasting pot. The rack was really the only thing to clean.

Anyway, I got some good compliments on them. One of the other cooks even said he thought they were the best. At the end, I had about eight bones left, which was quite a bit fewer than some of the others despite being second to last in the serving line. Even Shona said they were awesome 😉
