We love ribs but are sometimes put off by the amount of time it takes to get the fall-of-the bone tender results we crave. Once we started cooking with an Instant Pot we found we could get perfect ribs in a fraction of the time.
Whether you are working with beef ribs, spareribs, baby back ribs, short ribs….you name it, they all work really well in an Instant Pot. After realizing that fantastic ribs are easy to make even on busy weekday night, our thought then turned to sauces.
While we love traditional ribs with barbecue sauce, there are so many different sauces and rubs that can elevate your ribs to another level. Since it’s now clear that ribs will be on the menu more often, we began searching out different and inventive recipes to keep things interesting.
We’ve gathered 18 Instant Pot Rib recipes of all types and flavors, to meet the demand for eating more ribs, whenever you crave them.
