Instruction

  • Remove the ribs from the packaging and remove the thick fibrous skin from the back of the rack of ribs.
  • Place the ribs on a large baking sheet and generously sprinkle with pork rub. Rub the pork rub all over both sides of the ribs.
  • Wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour but overnight is best.
  • Place the metal rack that came with the Instant Pot into the bottom of the Instant Pot insert.
  • Add the water, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke into the Instant Pot.
  • Place the rack of ribs into the Instant Pot.
  • Place the Instant Pot lid on the appliance, set the valve to the sealing position.
  • Press the manual button and set the time to 20 minutes.
  • Once the Instant Pot has finished pressure cooking allow the steam to naturally release for 10 minutes before releasing the steam.
  • Carefully open the lid of the Instant Pot away from your face to prevent a steam burn.

  • Transfer the ribs to a serving platter. Cut the ribs into individual pieces and serve.
