Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs Recipe

I used the recipe for the cook times for ribs my instapot. Ill put whatever seasoning to my choosing on the ribs. If its a marinade I'll let it sit for about 30 min to marinate. If its a dry rub I may let it sit, I may not. Depending on my time limit. My family, nor myself are picky. Honestly, sometimes I just put 1/2C water and 1T liquid smoke in the instant put and rub the ribs in salt and cook it that way to taste the meat flavor itself. ANYWAY I don't even put these ribs in the oven, as it is more work and more dishes for me. And I don't like my ribs to completely fall off the bone. I like my ribs to have a little bit of pull from the bone. Feeling like I get back to my true cavewoman roots. haha. Great recipe though as a base, and I'm sure following the full thing is great as well. I have favorited it for sure and use it often! Thanks for sharing!

These came out great! I did cheat and use a pre-made rub (Weber Smoky Brown Sugar rub). I did everything else to the letter and it was amazing. My husband usually puts these in a smoker or on the grill in foil. It takes forever. He's sad now because I'll never let him bbq ribs again after this fantastic recipe. Update: I made these a second time because my son showed up to visit on a night that I didn't plan to make dinner. I had ribs in the freezer so I seasoned them in the frozen state, popped them into the instant pot and added 20 minutes to the cooking time. They came out just as fabulous as the first time from the fresh state.

Excellent! I have made this many times! Moist and juicy. Instead of 1 cup of beef broth I use 1 cup apple juice. It cuts down on the saltiness. I brush Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce on the backside bake 7 mins and then the front and bake another 7 mins. This BBQ sauce goes well with the rub recipe. You get the sweet and then the little bit of heat from the cayenne .Nice sweet and gooey!

Very good! I used half the salt and that was plenty. Also cooked 40 minutes in my pressure cooker and let it release naturally. Then 3-4 minutes on each side in the oven. They were fall off the bone good!!

I used 2 teaspoons of smoked salt instead of the 2T kosher salt. Instead of cayenne pepper, we drizzled them with some local hot sauce we love. I also sauted some onions in the pot first and then just added a can of consomme for the beef broth. I also used Swerve brown sugar. Let them natural release, and then covered with Baby Rays and broiled for several minutes. They were so tender and the bones were absolutely clean! There was no need to remove the silver skin, as it had cooked away. I will definitely make again and will make two racks! The seasoning is enough for two.

This recipe worked really well. The meat was really tender and probably could have been eaten straight out of the Instant Pot with sauce on the side, without the basting and extra step in the oven. I didn't have chili powder for the rub, so I added a little cumin. After reading the reviews, I cut the amount of salt in half, but I think this was a mistake. I used coarse Kosher salt, and the meat wasn't salty enough for my taste, so I think the original amount would be better. The only thing I found confusing was the placement of the meat in the pot. I could not get the pieces to stand up in tee-pee fashion, and I didn't think I should be laying them down in the beef broth, which might have washed off some of the rub. So I used the rack that came with my Instant Pot and cooked them over the broth. They still were hard to place but at least were not swimming in broth. (It might be that ribs cooked in the broth would be saltier because of the saltiness of the broth.) I was concerned about the cooking time, because my pot instructions indicated 40 minutes for the amount of meat (2 lbs.), but they were very tender.

These were the best ribs we’ve ever had! The secret is to remove the membrane on the backside. Then you do the dry rub. We reduced the salt by 1/2 and that was all we modified. I was told I’d win any rib contest in the world with these.

adjusted the salt should read 2 teaspoons most probably. Used the trivet in the IP to keep the ribs out of the liquid. Used it to lift them out. Only used 3/4 cup water was still plenty of liquid. Put the ribs under the broiler for 2 minutes after baking so they had more substance & texture like you get when you order out. Used store bought barby sauce from store to baste them prior to the baking part. Imagine you could put on the grill for a bit also.

These turned out to be the best ribs. Perfect in every way. Don’t be afraid to put a little crispy ness on them from the broiler. Not gonna lie though, used my own made from scratch BBQ sauce. Simply over the top.

It IS fall off bone and easiest ever! But it was WAY too salty for us. So I will half the salt next time (one TBS). But thank you!! this will be in my ‘regular recipe’ list.

I’ve made these many times and they are always fantastic. I have done exactly as the recipe says, I have used water instead of the beef broth because I didn’t have it and I have used beer instead of broth. I didn’t see much difference so now I just use water. I highly recommend this recipe. I buy the mega-pack of ribs at Costco and cook them in one day, slide out the bones, cut them in sections and package them in airtight zipper lock bags then freeze. The easiest dinner you’ll have. Just take them out of the freezer and put them in the fridge and in the evening I put them on my gas grill or you can put them in the oven.

This recipe is easy to follow and worth the effort that delivers great flavors! I used this recipe to make my first dish trying out the instant pot. The recipe is easy to follow and the result is a fantastic crowd pleaser!! It’s been years since I first used this recipe, and I continue to return to this trusty recipe. Thank you very much!!!

I used this recipe because time was running tight. Wow, what a game changer the flavour was fantastic and it didn’t take all afternoon to make. I will be using this recipe again.

I did substitute smoked paprika instead of regular paprika brings out a little smoky flavor.

Mine were on the dry side. 30 min then 5 in off mode then I released pressure. 7 minutes each side slathered in sauce . I used a pre heated cast iron pan. Next time I will try broiling the bbq sauce on the ribs.

This came out delicious. I used the apple juice for pressure cooker liquid, and maple smokehouse as a rub. I'm an old guy who doesn't know how to cook, this was easy and tasty. Totally worth the effort.

Instant pot for 1 hr ersus 3 hrs baking in the oven. This is a great no brainer and is fall-off-the bone tender

Made it last night — already planning next batch.

So easy and so delicious! I've been doing the oven method of baby backs for years, but this was faster, easier and more delicious! I am allergic to garlic so I omitted it from the rub. I also was a bit wary of the amount of cayenne pepper, so I used 1/3 what the recipe called for. It was perfection! A little heat, but not overpowering. This will e my go-to from now on! Thanks!

Bro, this tastes like victory on a plate.
