Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 piece trivet you will use the trivet to set the ribs on while in the instant pot.
  • 1 rack baby back ribs
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 4 tablespoons BBQ sauce you can use any BBQ sauce you enjoy.
  • 1 dusting Black Pepper a dash for just seasoning.
  • 1 dusting Salt salt is optional for flavor.

Method
 

  1. You first need to take a paper towel and remove the membrane. This is found on the back side of the ribs.
  2. Use a dash of salt and pepper to season the baby back ribs.
  3. Grab your cold water and then pour this into the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside. Take your ribs and place them on the trivet.
  4. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and then press "Manual" to set the timer for 20 to 25 minutes. You can opt for 16 minutes of you want a chewier rib. About 25 minutes will allow the meat to fall off of the bone.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450-degrees while those ribs are cooking in the Instant Pot.
  6. Once the timer has finished, allow about 10 minutes for a natural release of pressure. Be sure to turn off the Instant Pot at this time.
  7. Get the ribs out of the Instant Pot and then brush on your BBQ sauce. Make sure to get all of the sides of the ribs with the BBQ sauce.
  8. Place the ribs into the oven for about 13 minutes. Get them out and they are ready to eat.
