Barbecued dishes are a popular way to cook food outdoors, especially in the summertime. Spareribs and RIBS are two of the most popular barbecued dishes. Spareribs are a cut of pork RIBS that include more meat than regular RIBS. They are usually cooked slowly over low heat for a long period of time to ensure that the meat is tender and juicy. RIBS are also a cut of pork RIBS, but they are smaller and have less meat than spareribs. They are usually cooked quickly over high heat to give them a smoky flavor.
