These Instant Pot Pork Baby Back Ribs are fall of the bone tender and simply LIP SMACKING DELICIOUS! A delicious rack of ribs that are so flavorful, so tender and so scrumptious.

Instant Pot Pork Baby Back Ribs

Do you have an Instant Pot? I have one that I bought on Black Friday probably 3 years ago and have never used it… until today! Oh man, let me tell you what, I have been missing out. These Instant Pot pork baby back ribs are so incredibly DELICIOUS!

Instant Pot Ribs

These ribs came already pre-cut from the store but a rack of ribs can be placed in the Instant Pot without being cut prior. Just place the ribs on their side and position them along the sides of the pot.

Then cook according to the directions below for some mouth-watering, absolutely delicious, pork ribs that are to die for. And I mean to die for! I’ll just say that I have never been a huge fan of ribs… until today. After having ribs occasionally throughout my life, I can tell you that I will now be making ribs more often and in the Instant Pot.

How To Cook Ribs In The Instant Pot

All you have to do is remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and rub both sides with the homemade dry rub seasoning then coat the ribs with barbecue sauce. Add water to the pot, place sliced onions on the steaming rack, then place the ribs on top of the onions. Close and lock the lid, select “Manual” and “High Pressure” and set the timer for 25 minutes.

Once the Instant Pot preheat cycle has finished (which could be 10+ minutes), the timer will start and after 25 minutes the pork ribs will be fully cooked. Leave the ribs in the Instant Pot after it beeps and let the countdown begin. After 10 minutes of the pressure releasing naturally, release the remaining pressure (I use natural release instead of the quick release method).

Finish these delicious ribs off in the oven by removing the ribs and placing them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush with the remaining barbecue sauce and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes on 425°. That’s it! Super delicious, fall of the bone tender and lip smacking good! These can also be finished on the grill as well.
