    Instant Pot BBQ Baby Back Ribs

    I love me some ribs. And these Instant Pot BBQ Baby Back Ribs are so easy to make and tastes better than most restaurants. The meat practically falls off the bone. This is especially true if you use an Instant Pot. They come out perfect every time!

    I always thought it would be challenging to make good BBQ Ribs at home without having all the special appliances that most restaurants have like smokers, etc.

    Well, this recipe is as good, if not better than any BBQ ribs out there. Of course, I am a little bit bias but I challenge you to make this recipe yourself and see what you think. And if you have an Instant Pot, you are almost guaranteed they will come out perfectly.

    💭 Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

    The Instant Pot is a combination pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer with a few other capabilities. With an Instant Pot, you can make some recipes in minutes compared to hours the traditional way. While not always the case, it's a very handy appliance if you are always on the run.

    The Instant Pot comes with several safety features. If you happen to encounter an error message on the display of your IP, I suggest you visit Instant Pot's Official Customer Care Center.

    If you frequently use your Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, you've probably experienced a "smelly" lid. Here's a simple way to get rid of the smell. Fill the Instant Pot with 2 Cups of White Vinegar. Seal the lid. Use the steam setting for 2 minutes. Remove the rubber ring from the lid and let dry completely before using it.
