Ingredients
- 1 or 2 racks baby back ribs
- 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 pounds total
- 4 cups apple juice
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup favorite barbecue sauce
Instructions
- 1
With a rack bone side up, and starting at one end, slip a knife tip under the translucent membrane, loosening it from the bone.
- 2
Once you have lifted enough to get a good grip, grasp the membrane with a paper towel and peel it off the rack (or ask your butcher to do this).
- 3
Repeat with the remaining rack(s).
- 4
Cut the rack(s) in half crosswise.
- 5
Stack the ribs in the Instant Pot.
- 6
Pour in the apple juice and vinegar.
- 7
Secure the lid and move the Pressure Release to Sealing.
- 8
Select the Meat/Stew setting and set the cooking time for 20 minutes at high pressure. (For meat-falling-off-the-bone ribs, set the cooking time for 25 minutes.) Let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes.
- 9
While the pressure is releasing, preheat the oven to 400° F and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
- 10
When 15 minutes have passed, move the Pressure Release to Venting to release any remaining steam.
- 11
Open the pot and, using a pair of tongs, transfer the ribs to the prepared sheet pan.
- 12
Discard the cooking liquid.
- 13
Brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce, then bake for about 10 minutes, until the sauce is a caramelized and browned.
- 14
Remove from the oven, cut the ribs apart, and serve.
