There are few things better than sinking your teeth into some warm ribs. Because of this, we usually overestimate how much of them we can eat and end up with some leftovers more often than not.

Of course, having leftover ribs isn’t a bad thing. However, you probably think that they can never be as satisfying as the ones that have been freshly cooked. Well, if you reheat them the right way, they can be. Check out the step-by-step guide below.

Get Leftover Ribs to Room Temperature

Take out the ribs from the fridge and let them sit on a kitchen counter until they reach room temperature. They should be just right after half an hour.

Preheat the Oven

There is no better method for reheating ribs than your oven. Turn it on to 250F and allow it to preheat before starting anything else.

Add Extra Moisture

You don’t want the ribs to dry out, so you will need to add a bit of extra moisture. You can coat them in barbecue sauce or, if you don’t want to mess with the taste, sprinkle them with a few tablespoons of water.

Wrap Them in Aluminum Foil

Place the ribs on a sheet of aluminum foil and then tightly wrap them all around so they don’t lose the juices.

Reheat for 30 Minutes

Pop the aluminum foil-wrapped ribs in the preheated oven for around 30 minutes. After that, unwrap and dig in.
