How long to cook ribs in the Instant Pot or pressure cooker?

Depending on the size of your ribs, a 500g rack of baby back ribs typically takes 23 minutes on high pressure + 10-15 minutes of natural release. Spare ribs will take longer because the meat is tougher; cook for 35 minutes on high pressure + 15 minutes natural release. When the meat is done, transfer it to a baking tray and brush the BBQ sauce over the top. Broil for 6-8 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and thickens.

Can I make this recipe ahead?

Yes, you can make the spice rub and marinate the ribs with the dry rub 1-2 days in advance. Wrap in foil and store in the fridge until ready to pressure cook. You can also make the BBQ sauce up to 5 days in advance and store it in the fridge until needed. If the consistency is a little thick, simply dilute with 1 tablespoon of water before broiling the ribs.

Can I adapt this recipe to other diets?

To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure you use a gluten-free soy sauce, also known as tamari, and either use a gluten-free Worcestershire sauce or just leave it out.

How to store BBQ ribs?

Store any leftover meat in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 7 days. Reheat on a baking tray in the center of the oven and cook at 350F/180C until piping hot.
