Super easy to make, and finger-licking good, these Peking-Style pork ribs take no time to prep and can be served at the table straight from the Crock-Pot® Lift & Serve Slow Cooker bowl! A recipe in collaboration with Crock-Pot®.
Sticky, Peking-style pork ribs are one of our family favourite meals, and they’re super easy to make at home. Usually, I slow cook them in the oven for a few hours on low, but now that I’m the proud owner of a new Crock-Pot® ‘Lift & Serve’ Slow Cooker I can make them in advance and then head out for the afternoon – dinner will be ready when I get home!

During the month of Crocktober (October) Crock-Pot®, encourages Brits to slow down by joining #Crocktober – a 31-day slow cooking challenge that aims to help the people of Britain put their feet up, enjoy that extra hour in bed and take back that quality time with loved ones. Importantly, #Crocktober sets out to remind us that it’s possible to cook delicious meals without taking up the whole day.
This is the third of three recipes I am sharing this Crocktober for Crock-Pot®. The first was a slow cooker oxtail soup recipe, the second was a pressure cooker Apricot & Almond Christmas Cake made in their Crock-Pot® Express Multi-Cooker.

They look unbelievable. So tasty!
I love that this has a hinged lid, I always get so annoyed at the mess the lid off my slow cooker makes!

My husband loves sticky ribs but I would never have thought about making them in a slow cooker. Will be giving this a go if I can dig our old one out x

Using the Crock pot is ideal at this time of year, so useful and so versatile. Lovely to come home to a tasty hot meal at the end of a cold day.
