    These were delicious and well worth the 2 1/2 hour wait. The meat really did just fall off the bone. One of our family favourites!

    Loved these! Made a great saturday night tea and our 5 year son loved them! They were much nicer than anything you can get from a takeaway and plenty left over for tomorrow! Will definitely make these again.

    Personally I found these a little greasy and they didn't have enough sauce. I won't make them again.

    these were very very liked. missed the instruction to up the temp 30mins from the end, but there was no problem. Had chinese rice wine only, (tho it may now be vinegar I've had it sooooo long, also used groundnut oil instead of sesame, but still very good and tasty. Certainly found loads in 1kilo of ribs. smashing
