Instant Pot BBQ Ribs

As you know, I am pretty much obsessed with my Instant Pot. I have had mine for almost 2 years and I haven't used my Slow Cooker since I got my Instant Pot! In fact, when I finished my 40 bags in 40 days this Summer, I donated by Slow Cooker! Can you believe it?!?! I figured if I haven't used it in almost 2 years, why keep it? I'm all about the Instant Pot!
One of my favorite things to make in my Slow Cooker is Ribs.
{Here is my Slow Cooker Ribs Recipe}
The Slow Cooker Ribs are amazing...they are fall off the bone. They are more of a Fall/Winter Recipe & I serve them with mashed potatoes. I knew I wanted to try out Ribs in my Instant Pot and make them with a rub & more like they were BBQ'd.  I tried these out several times this Summer and I'm ready to share the final recipe. They are SO good!!!!

 Here is what you need:

Instant Pot (this is the one I have)
3-4 lbs of Baby Back Pork Ribs
1/4 c brown sugar (forgot to add it to the photo!)
2t Smoked Paprika
2t Chili Powder
1t Garlic Powder
1t Cumin
1/4 t Cayenne Pepper (optional)
1t Garlic Salt
1t Sea Salt
1t Pepper
1/2 t Liquid Smoke (I got it here)
1/4 c Apple Cider Vinegar
1 1/2 cus water
BBQ Sauce

Combine the ingredients in a bowl for the rub...brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, sea salt & pepper:

Mix Together:

Put the rub on BOTH sides of your ribs.
(No photo of this because my hands had rub all over them!)

Open your Instant Pot and pour in 1 cup of water, 1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar & Liquid Smoke.
Then place the trivet in the Instant Pot (this comes with your Instant Pot)

 Now wrap the ribs around the Instant Pot liner:

Then put the lid on your Instant Pot turn the knob to SEALING:

Cook for 20 minutes on high pressure:

After it is done cooking, keep the Instant Pot closed for another 15 minutes and THEN release the pressure.
Your ribs will look like this:

Carefully take out the ribs and lay them on a cookie sheet that is covered in foil:

Brush BOTH sides of the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce.

Our favorite BBQ sauce is Kinders.

Then place the ribs in a 375 degree oven and bake for 5 minutes.

Remove the ribs & serve!

If you don't want to turn on your oven, you can BBQ them for 5-7 minutes instead. 

These ribs are also FALL OFF THE BONE!

So tender & juicy.
 I hope you love these ribs as much as we do!
And, if you havne't gotten an Instant Pot yet, what are you waiting for?!?
