Pressure Cooker Ribs
Ribs are so tender, flavorful, and delicious, and it only takes about 1 hour of cooking It may seem sacrilegious for a pitmaster. Still, when you need to feed guests and only have about an hour before they arrive, it is awesome. Your guests will never know that you did not go traditional!

- Place wire trivet rack in the bottom of the pressure cooker..
- Add water, apple juice (or apple cider vinegar) and liquid smoke (optional, but recommended for that great smokey flavor).
- Place the ribs upright, with the meat side facing out. If you’re using one large rack of ribs, then circle them around the pot.
- Secure lid and close vent.
- Pressure cook on high pressure for 27 minutes.
- When the timer beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release for 15 min, then turn the valve to quick release.
- Carefully remove ribs to a large, foil-lined baking sheet and slather them in BBQ sauce.
- Optional: broil them in the oven for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the bbq sauce.
Notes
*For spare ribs, add 5-10 minutes to the cooking time (high number for higher altitudes and very “fall-off-the-bone” ribs, lower number for lower altitude and tender ribs).*For the BBQ sauce I prefer Sweet Baby Ray’s original or Honey BBQ.
