Hi all,

When I was in Memphis, I went to a restaurant, Interstate Barbecue,
that had hands-down the best barbecue I have ever eaten. I noticed on
the menu that they ship worldwide, so for Christmas I sent my Dad a
full slab of pork ribs and a bottle of sauce via
http://www.jimneelysinterstatebarbec.../delivery.html . He said
that they arrived frozen and packed in dry ice, and thus he still
hasn't eaten them because he is not sure how to defrost and reheat
them. He is thinking about using a grill. Any suggestions?

TIA,
Erica

My first thought is to defrost in fridge.

You have the website - contact them with your question - although after
perusing the website I found it severely lacking, contains no useful
information whatsoever.

We freeze our smoked ribs all the time as we can never finish them all. All
I do is sit them on the counter till they defrost. Have left them out all
day. I'm not a fanatic when it comes to all the paranoia about bacteria,
etc. Have never had a problem. Then just heat up our grill and warm them up
or put them in the oven in foil until they are warm. Taste delicious.
