1 Place spareribs in a large stock pot with barbeque sauce, onion, salt, and pepper. Pour in enough water to cover. Bring to a low boil, and cook approximately 40 minutes.  Preheat grill for high heat.
Place the baby back ribs into a large boiling pot, such as a 60-quart aluminum stew or stock pot. Fill the pot with cold water until the ribs are covered. Add a dash of salt to the pot. If you are adding dry seasonings or vinegar to the pot, this is the time to do it. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the baby back ribs until they are tender â about 45 minutes to an hour. You will know the tender ribs have been adequately boiled when the pink and red hues on the outer layers of the raw ribs have turned light brown. Use barbecue tongs to remove the baby back ribs from the pot and place them on a baking sheet.
