Instant Pot® ribs are so tender they fall of the bone. The best part is that you can cook them start to finish in just a little over an hour.

2 cups apple juice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar

Step 2
Add a trivet to the pot and place ribs on top, trimming as needed to fit. Close and lock the lid; set valve to sealing. Choose high pressure and set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 3
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Cook's Note:

Cook on manual for 15 minutes on high pressure if you want ribs to still have a slight pull when biting and be able to brown them on the grill or broil the rack without meat falling off the bone. You can do 25 minutes for extra-tender, almost fall-off-the-bone ribs.

Made as recipe stated with boneless ribs. Was very flat, so I covered in Sweet Baby Rays Barbecue Sauce and broiled in oven for 10 minutes. Very tasty and tender.

Not tender Not flavorful Had to broil it 6 more minutes. Needed more seasoning or a ton of BBQ sauce. Sorry not a winner

Fall off the bone ribs...a little too much. I also took them out slathered them in BBQ sauce and placed under broiler for a few minutes. Fast and easy!!
