    I remember when my mom got a crock pot. Cooks all day while she worked

    We used it once I think

    Hit America mass production in 1971

    Crock pots are great. Just not for any type of meat that needs a little bark on the edges- eg ribs.

    I'm told by my son that the best use of his air fryer is quickly reheating leftovers that you want to be crisp. It sounded legit, and I picked one up, but haven't used it yet after almost a year.

    A decade ago I worked at a mortgage company and at the Xmas party won a raffle and received a crock pot. It's still in the box. LOL
    Your missing out. Crock pot ribs are better than any other method.

    Lack of counter space sounds poor.

    Cooking at home instead of eating out sounds poor.

    Put them on a smoker.

    How does one even fit a full rack in a crockpot?

    Yes, smoker will get you better ribs than crock pot, but only done if done right. The best ribs I've ever had are from a smoker, but I've also had too many dry ribs. Maybe not wrapping it in foil early enough or not using enough sauce or whatever.

    Crocks are more consistent since they trap in the moisture and never dry out and since you're cooking it in a sauce, you can get different flavor profiles. Try it with pineapple juice

    Crocks don't give you burnt ends though, so that's a negative

    Edit: they have different sizes and shapes, so there are large oblong ones that can fit a full rack. The normal small tower ones wouldn't

    Agree with this. Smoker is the best option. They can also be done in the oven. Cook at low temperature wrapped in foil. Finish broil. Exception to this is beef short ribs. I prefer to braise them in a dutch oven at low temperature or braise them in a crock pot. They come out goddamned delicious either way.

    I use a Weber Smoky mountain which consistently produces delicious moist ribs. I usually wrap for a couple of hours but even if I skip that part they don't dry out.

    I will use a crockpot to keep pulled pork warm after pulling the butt or even smoke it a day before, pull and refrigerate and then warm in the crock pot. That is an acceptable use of a crockpot.

    You can actually cook all kinds of meat in a crockpot, and it usually comes out quite well.
