What colour should ribs be when you boil them?

When boiling ribs, they should typically change from a reddish-pink color to a more opaque, pale hue as they cook. The meat should become a light grayish-white or tan color, indicating that it is properly cooked. Additionally, the connective tissues should soften, and the meat should easily pull away from the bones. Always ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C) for safety.
