Happy New Year! Let's make some ribs!
I love the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker! (I hope you got/bought one during their crazy black Friday sale). I bought it last year and have been trying out different meals. Most of the time I take a couple photos on Instagram stories, but today I used my new camera. Oh yes, I bought myself a new camera! Canon 80D...I'm still figuring things out and watching many YouTube videos.
My local Sprouts Market had a sale on pork ribs so I picked up some baby back ribs ($2.99/pound, bought about 1.5 pounds) and when I brought it home, I googled Baby Back Ribs Pressure Cooker! NPR's The Salt had a piece from 2015 that I used as my guide.
Sprinkled some spice on the ribs
Put it in the Pressure Cooker along with 1/2 cup of water or stock (I used hot water). (See the NPR piece if you have a larger rack...you should teepee the meat - the photos will make sense)
Seal the pressure cooker and set for 30 minutes high pressure.
(This isn't a photo of setting it for 30 minutes - this was taken right after it was done!)
I used bottled BBQ sauce from Trader Joe's. About 15 minutes before the ribs are done, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet tray with foil.
After cooking is complete, quick release the steam (you can let it go naturally, but I was hungry) and remove the ribs.
Brush on BBQ sauce and bake for 8-10 minutes, turning once. Watch your smoke alarm because it's a super hot oven and the sweet BBQ will burn a bit.
Next time I'll add more BBQ sauce and maybe even make my own sauce but they were tasty and super fast to make in the pressure cooker (and oven).
I used:

Love your posts, stopped visiting only because your posts became few and far in between.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the fence about the Insta pot, because I own, 2 slow cookers and a rice cooker. Have you used the slow cook or rice cook function on your model? any thoughts?
@rcwillman Hi, Since I have one of those fancy Japanese rice cookers, I would never cook rice in anything else (really, that rice cooker is freaking amazing. I just wish it would clean my house too). Haven't used the slow cooker part yet...and probably won't. I like the speed of the pressure cooker. :) A few friends got one and they LOVE, I mean LOVE it. They cook a lot more than me and use it all the time (beans, pozole, soup, stews). For what it's worth! Since they sold a zillion of these, maybe you have a friend who has one and you can try it out :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteThis pressure cooker looks amazing! I started using one last winter when I was living in India and have been thinking of getting one here. I love this one.
Hope you are doing well. Say hi to Judy, Rocky and everyone for me!
