All food should be cooked with the glass
lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted,
both the heat and moisture in the food
are lost. Cooking times should thus be
extended by approximately 30 minutes.
Directions:
Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Remove inner skin from ribs. Mix
brown sugar, pepper, liquid smoke, garlic and salt; rub mixture into ribs. Cut ribs
into 4-inch pieces. Layers ribs and onion in slow cooker. Pour cola over ribs.

slow cooker. Drain and discard liquid. Pour barbecue sauce into shallow bowl.
Dip ribs into sauce. Place ribs in slow cooker. Pour any remaining sauce over ribs.
Cover and cook on low heat setting 1 hour.
Liquid Amounts
When food is cooking in your slow
cooker, very little moisture boils away.
To compensate this, it is advisable to
halve the liquid content of traditional
recipes. However, if after cooking, the
liquid content is excessive, remove the
lid and operate the slow cooker on the
high setting for 30-45 minutes or until
the liquid reduces by the desired
amount.

example, do not place into or under
cold water while still hot.
Tips For Slow Cooking
•
The cover of the slow cooker does not
form a tight fit on the ceramic pot but
should be centered on the ceramic pot
for best results. Do not remove the
glass cover unnecessarily - this will
result in major heat loss. Do not cook
without the glass cover in place.
Stirring is not normally needed when
using a slow cooker. However, if
cooking on high, you may want to stir
occasionally.
Slow cooking retains most of the
moisture in foods. If a recipe results
in too much liquid at the end of the
cooking time, remove glass cover,
turn the control knob to high, and
reduce the liquid by simmering. This
will take 30-45 minutes.
