Tip From Our Test Kitchen: To remove fat from ribs, pour liquid into a quart-size zip-top plastic bag. Close bag and let stand 5 minutes to allow fat to rise to top. Holding bag over a bowl, snip one corner to release liquid. Stop flow when fat comes near opening. Discard fat and add liquid back to oven bag.
