I don’t understand the concept of only using the slow cooker in the colder months. Where do people get that? Don’t ovens and grills create more heat when used, making hot days even hotter in the summer? Plus there are so many summer foods you can make with a slow cooker like pulled pork, pulled chicken, pulled anything, wings, dips, ribs, and pretty much anything you need to cook when you are feeling too lazy to babysit it (i.e. me, all the time). Slow cookers are the bomb all year around.

I bought pork spare ribs from the farmers market having no idea what to use them for, and like any meat I’m clueless about how to cook, I just threw them in the slow cooker hoping for the best and then BOOM. Turned out amazing. And it literally takes less than 10 minutes to prep. And I’m using “literally” correctly so don’t ya fret.

But seriously, don’t let your slow cooker collect dust this summer and MAKE THESE. They are pretty incredible. I don’t joke when it comes to pork spare ribs (I mean.. who would?) and these are an all-time crowd pleaser.
