Beer-Braised Spare Ribs

Introduction

Beer roasted duck and roasted meat really tastes exceptionally good. The roasting process uses beer instead of water and makes the meat extra tender. A cast iron skillet works best for this small amount of water. This enameled cast iron casserole pot from Beiding is a great value and really good quality. With just over a can of beer, the ribs were tender and flavorful in 40 minutes of slow simmering over low heat. The heat-conducting plate is awesome, not only does it heat the pot more evenly, but it also protects the bottom of the pot from getting blackened. The same can be done for roast duck and chicken wings.
