Instant Pot Baby Back Ribs step by step

1. Remove membrane from ribs. (I skip this step on the recommendation of 2 butchers who told me I "watch" to many cooking shows, and to leave the membrane on).
2. Coat with the dry rub. If you do this early enough, put ribs on plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. If done spur of moment let rest at least 30 minutes..
3. Place trivet in bottom of IP, add liquid ingredients EXCEPT BBQ sauce..
4. Stack ribs on the trivet on their side next to one another..
5. High pressure cook for 30 minutes. Do a natural release..
6. Baste with BBQ sauce and broil for 5-7 minutes. This finishing touch actually makes the ribs in my opinion..

Coat the front and back of ribs with the rub. Add water, apple cider vinegar, and worcheshire sauce to the Instant Pot. Place the steam rack inside on the Instant and put the ribs on top. Watch ribs in the oven so they do not burn. The membrane, or silverskin, is the long whitish piece linking the ribs together.
