How to Reheat Ribs on an Electric Grill
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to reheat ribs on a grill. Depending on the type of grill you’ll be using, the cooking period may vary.
Remove the ribs from a refrigerator
The first step is to remove the ribs from a fridge and allow them to attain room temperature. It will take about 30 minutes. You should never place ribs or other foods on a grill direct from a fridge unless it’s at room temperature.
Preheat the grill
Secondly, as you wait for the ribs to come to room temperature, you should be preheating the grill. Turn up the grill to about 250 degrees F and preheat it for about 20 minutes. It prevents the ribs from sticking to the grill’s cooking surface.
Prepare your ribs
Once your ribs have attained room temperature and the chill off the meat, you rub the ribs with some sauce or splash a few drops of water on them.
Then loosely wrap your ribs with aluminum foil. You may consider adding another layer of aluminum foil to ensure you lock tight the rib’s moisture.
Place the ribs on the grill
If the grill is already preheated, you can place the wrapped ribs on the grill. Let the ribs absorb the heat for about 5 minutes. Turn the wrapping and let it cook for 5 minutes for the other side. However, the cooking time may be more or less depending on the heat of your grill and the size of the ribs.
Check the internal temperature
Before removing the ribs from the grill, ensure you attain an internal temperature of about 165 degrees F.
Remove and serve
If your ribs have attained the proper internal temperature, they are ready. Remove from the grill.
You can leave them for about 5 minutes before slicing them.
The process of reheating ribs on a grill is as simple as outlined above. It also retains the flavor and taste relatively similar to that of freshly grilled ribs.
