Instant Pot® Unforgettable Baby Back Ribs
First of all I need to explain why I’ve been a bit MIA lately. I’ve needed to focus on family matters including a wonderful wedding for our son. He married the most thoughtful, kind and loving girl who happens to be the mother of the cutest 4 year old you’ve ever met! We are excited to add to our growing family. I’ll update our family picture here on the blog very soon!
On to matters of good health and tasty food! While entertaining lots of family this past month, I served my Instant Pot® Baby Back Ribs and everyone called them “UNFORGETTABLE”. So I’ve renamed them appropriately! They are fantastic! Fall-off-the-bone amazing if you ask everyone who eats them. And no kidding you can have these on your plate in just over an hour! And with summer dining right around the corner, I’ve got you covered.
I admit, I’ve always been very intimidated to even try to prepare ribs. I admire all the master rib makers out there, smoking them all day in their smokers or grills and yes this is awesome and is the preferred cooking method, but I’m telling you, if I can have tender tasty pork in my mouth in about the time it takes to bake a potato, I’m all over it. Maybe I start calling myself the Instant Pot® Rib master!
It’s the rub. These 12 seasonings are the secret to these tasty ribs. Check out all the beautiful colors. Each one is important to the final result. I love this combination of spices and you likely have most of them in your spice drawer already. Dry mustard, garlic, onion (powder or minced dried), chipotle, smoke paprika and more. This rub is inspired by another Instant Pot® Rib master over at Sweet and Savory Meals. Thank you for all your knowledge and helpful tips.
Combine your spices and rub all over both sides of your rack of ribs. Fill your Instant Pot® container with apple juice, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke and bay leaves. Then place the trivet on the bottom of the container.
Arrange the ribs inside the Instant Pot® by curling them into a circle, fitting them is as needed.
