How to cook pork ribs sous vide

Pork ribs are a great addition to any barbecue and cooking them sous vide in advance means you won't have to spend hours standing over the flames. Perfect for hassle-free cooking and reducing the risk of over- or under-cooked pork. The ribs can be prepared in advance and popped on to the barbecue just to finish them off, so you get that charred, smoky exterior.
