Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
2 cups apple juice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
2 bay leaves, or more to taste
2 racks baby back pork ribs
Directions
Combine juice, vinegar, and liquid smoke in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add bay leaves.
Add a trivet to the pot and place ribs on top, trimming as needed to fit. Close and lock the lid; set valve to sealing. Choose high pressure and set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
Cook’s Note
Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes as directed if you want the ribs to still have a slight pull when bitten into, and if you want to be able to brown them on the grill or broil the rack without the meat falling off the bone.
For extra-tender, almost fall-off-the-bone ribs, set the timer for 25 minutes.
