I’ll admit, I was skeptical about cooking ribs in the Instant Pot. Would they really be tender? Would they really cook in 20 minutes? Would they have any flavor? But I am here to tell you these Instant Pot BBQ Ribs were absolutely amazing. They were fall-off-the-bone-tender and delicious.
One thing I am learning about the Instant Pot is there may be an extra short step or two after cooking meats like ribs. In order to get these ribs covered with a chard BBQ crust, I needed to toss them in BBQ sauce and broil them for a few minutes. In the long run, the Instant Pot is still a great tool. I could never have gotten these ribs fall-off-the-bone-tender in 20 minutes. We will definitely be eating a lot more BBQ ribs at our house.
