Love it! So very easy and tender.
This is my go-to recipe for ribs. My husband can’t swallow tough meat but loves ribs. Cooking them in the Instant Pot keeps them tender enough even for him. Plus they are really tasty. I just have to remember they will cook much longer than most items do when cooked in a pressure cooker. Also, I slather on the BBQ sauce and stick them in the oven for a few minutes. Easier than grilling and still really good.
I enjoyed the tips. Insta-pot made this recipe easy. I’ll try it again!
