You only need about half an hour in water for ribs
so coke should be the same.

I wonder what would happen if you used *spit* diet coke? it'd be much less likely to burn...

I wouldn't want to risk it being shit
because of the sweeteners, so will go with regular coke.

I have basically zero experience with boiling meat. I'm thinking to avoid burning sugar that I'd be better off going with not quite boiling, and for longer. What do you reckon?

a very gentle simmer should do it.
just keep checking it.

I boil ribs just in water and then make a sticky thai glaze for them for the bbq and it's absolutely lovely. But I'm liking your plan muchly, let me know how it goes?

oh, fuck it, I didn't read that properly
I'd do it on the hob. The sugar will caramalize and burn and if you aren't stirring it all the time the pan will be ruined and it'll tase burnt, so the oven is not so good as you aren't stirring it all the time.
