How to Make Bbq Baby Back Ribs Pressure Cooker

  1. Place the metal rack inside your pressure cooker. Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the cooker.
  2. If your pressure cooker is large enough, carefully arrange the ribs in a circle on the rack.
  3. If not, cut the rack of ribs into 2-3 sections and stand them upright in the cooker, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  4. Securely lock the lid on your pressure cooker.
  5. Set your pressure cooker to high pressure (15 psi) and cook for 12 minutes.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully use the quick release method to depressurize completely.
  7. Once the pressure has dropped, carefully open the lid. Use long tongs to carefully remove the ribs from the pressure cooker.
  8. For best results, prepare your favorite BBQ sauce. Dip ribs in the sauce, coating them evenly in a shallow dish, or baste generously while broiling or grilling for 2-3 minutes per side to caramelize the sauce.
