I just tried a new rib making recipe that took me under 2 hours to make two full racks.
I took a cookie sheet and placed lemons along it as well as filled the bottom of the sheet with water, maybe a cm or so deep but rested the ribs on the lemons so they were barely in the water, Season the ribs accordingly and remove the membrane / silver skin whatever you call it. I then foil wrapped the tray completely to prevent any steam from escaping.
in the oven at 325 for 1-1.5 hours they came out super tender and cooked.
From there you just take them to the grill with the bbq sauce or blend of choice and coat the ribs while grilling the sauce so it carmalizes around the outside. I imagine if you wanted you could do the first step with a crapload of ribs, then fridge them / (freeze?) and then cook off a half rack or full rack whenever you wanted during the week. that's pretty much how most restaurants do ribs (ever wonder how they get fall off the bone in under 15 minutes?)
(I cheated and just did it in the oven with the oven set to broil)
Not quite boiling, but same moist cooking effect, I found the ribs to be more (pork) flavourful than boiling it in water or even a mild marinade / apple juice / beef broth. Definitely going with this method this summer.
