How Long To Cook Ribs In The Oven At 400

Throughout this article, I will explain how long it takes to cook pork ribs at 400°F in the oven. You will also find valuable information about the differences between beef and pork ribs, the different types of ribs, and more.

What Are The Type Of Pork Ribs

• Back Ribs: The back ribs are relatively small and fatter than the front ribs and cook relatively quickly. Racks of short ribs weigh between 1 and 2 pounds, and they may also be referred to as loin ribs or baby back ribs.
• Spare Ribs: They are longer and leaner ribs found behind the shoulder on the belly. Because of their weight, the racks cook more slowly. When these ribs are trimmed of cartilage, breastbone, and the skirt to form a rectangular rack, they are often referred to as side ribs or St Louis-style ribs.
• Country Style Ribs: Typically, these rib steaks come from the shoulder portion of the loin and cook more quickly than the other types. Some are boneless, while others feature shoulder blades, as shown here. These are also known as shoulder steaks and blade chops.

Best Temperature To Cook Ribs In The Oven

Beef or pork ribs can be baked at many temperatures such as 275°F, 350°F, and 400°F. I find 400°F to be the best temperature to bake pork ribs, as it is fast, taking only about an hour and a half. Also, baking your ribs at 400°F will give them a more golden color.

How Long To Cook Ribs In Oven At 400 With Foil

If you choose to bake your ribs in aluminum foil in an oven at 400°F, it will take between 1 ½ and 2 hours. The foil will keep the temperature inside and this will help the ribs to cook quickly while providing tender, falling apart ribs.

How Long To Cook Ribs Without Foil

The cooking time for ribs without foil can take up to 3 h and sometimes even up to 5 hours depending on the temperature. As an example, back ribs can take three hours to bake at 300°F, and about 4 hours at 250°F, and so on. The higher the temperature, the faster it will cook.

Boneless Ribs Vs Bone-in Ribs Cooking Time

Generally speaking, bone-in ribs require 10% more cooking time than boneless ribs. In addition to pork or beef ribs, this rule also applies to other meats such as chicken, salmon, or lamb. For example: If the recommended time for boneless ribs is 1h, then bone-in ribs take about 1 hour and 10 minutes longer.

The internal temperature of the ribs must be between 185°F and 200°F.

Beef Ribs Vs Pork Ribs Baking Time

Beef ribs tend to be fattier and larger than pork ribs. In contrast, pork ribs have a milder flavor due to their fat content, which makes them more versatile. Because of this, beef ribs will take longer to cook than pork ribs.

Example: Beef Country Style Ribs take about 50 minutes to cook at 350°F while pork Country Style takes 35 to 40 minutes. Learn more about the difference between beef ribs and pork ribs.

How Long Do Baked Ribs Last In The Fridge

How To Freeze Ribs After Backing.

As long as the ribs are stored properly, they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the ribs rest at room temperature after baking. Once the ribs have been cut into portions, lay each piece on a large piece of plastic film wrap. Make sure the ribs are tightly wrapped, and squeeze out all of the air. To add extra protection, place wrapped portions inside a heavy-duty freezer bag. Make a note of the freezing date so you don't forget.
