Ingredients

  • 1 rack baby back ribs
  • seasoning for dry rub (more info above in text!)
  • cup liquid (I used water!) (more options above in text!)
  • 1 cup bbq sauce

Instructions

  • First, pull the thin layer of membranes off of the backside of the ribs. It is a thin white layer. Start cutting with a knife. Once you have enough cut that you are able to grab it, use a paper towel to grab and pull it off. 
  • Season generously, rubbing the seasoning into the meat.
  • Place the liquid in the liner. Set the trivet inside the liner.
  • Curve the ribs into a circle and set them onto the trivet. 
  • Cook on Manual HIGH for 25 minutes. Allow for a 10 minute natural pressure release before manually releasing the pressure.
  • Carefully remove the ribs, brush with bbq sauce and broil for 5-10 minutes or until bubbly.
