Andie, if you are making ribs in the oven, I suggest letting them soak in Coke

for about 2 hours before cooking them.

What type of taste does this add? - Will Hunting Jun 25, 12:25 9
- A good one, based on the reaction one of my roasts got from you. :) -- nm - kelly Jun 25, 12:35
- a bit sweet, but it tenderizes the meat so it falls off the bone when cooked. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 12:33
- generically sweet.. it's a good way to tenderize. a lot of brisket recipes call for adding some coke. -- nm - colin Jun 25, 12:28
- coke is sugar + cinnamon + vanilla + citrus. Not terribly different from any given marinade I think? -- nm - loosilu Jun 25, 12:27
- isn't there a method of cooking a whole chicken with coke (or sprite, etc?) i imagine i adds sweetness and a crispiness. -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 12:27 4
  - here's one, for turkey. -- (link) - Roger More Jun 25, 12:30

  - beer chicken. you stand it up on a can of beer so the beer evaporates into the chicken -- nm - colin Jun 25, 12:27 1
    - she'll hate me but - zork Jun 25, 12:29
Nah, just boil off the alcohol in a Guinness and douse them with that. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 12:25 1
- why bother boiling it off? -- nm - znufrii Jun 25, 12:26
Shaun also suggested cooking them in dark beer. I have so many options! -- nm - Andie Jun 25, 12:25 1
- I made ribs on Monday - cut up into individual ribs and fried, then cooked in white wine and orange juice, and then baked in the oven with a tomato - Roger More Jun 25, 12:26
