I liked that this recipe called for browning the ribs first, that adds a lot of texture to them. You can also put them under the broiler quick after you remove them from the crock pot if you want to caramelize the orange-soy glaze a bit.

I cooked these on low for 5 hours and they were good. My crock pot cooks too hot on high so I was afraid they'd burn.
