Instant Pot BBQ Ribs (with Duo Crisp Instructions)

These Instant Pot BBQ Ribs are so easy and come with Duo Crisp Instructions.

Pressure cooking the pork ribs first gives you delicious, tender, fall-off-the-bone meat with hardly any effort.

There is nothing like pressure cooking ingredients to make your life easier.

Then you can finish them off on the grill, oven, air fryer or, if you're super lucky, with the new Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer.

Hold on, I can finish them off in an Instant Pot?

Yes you can, with the new Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer!

The Crisp comes with two lids:

• the usual Instant Pot standard lid (actually self-sealing with pressure release button so quite fancy)
• an Air Fryer Lid that also dehydrates!!

You can swap between the lids in no time and you can even lift the Air Fryer Lid to check progress, the cooker will pause and then continue where it left off once you put the lid back on.

Super easy to use, the Crisp also has a sous vide setting!

So it pressure cooks, it slow cooks, it steams, it sous vides... it will basically make your life A LOT EASIER and so much less messy.

Seriously, who likes cleaning the oven?

The Crisp is super easy to keep clean. The inner pot, air fryer basket, tray plus trivet (steamer rack) all go in the dishwasher.

The Air Fryer lid just needs a quick wipe.

Want to pressure cook ribs for more than two people?

Add more ribs and keep the timings the same. Just remember not to fill past the ⅔ line of your Instant Pot.

Remember those filling rules.

Notes

*Instant Pot Terminology

Quick pressure release (QPR, also called quick release or QR) means venting the steam as soon as the pressure cooking process finishes, i.e. moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.

Natural pressure release (NPR, also called natural release or NR) means letting the float valve pop back down of its own accord, so basically you don’t need to do anything at the end and can keep your feet up. If it takes over 15 minutes, you're ok to release the rest of the steam (by turning the steam release handle to Venting) that may be left in order to unlock and open the lid. 

Sometimes you'll see me talk of a combination of NPR followed by a QPR. For example a recipe may have a 4 minute NPR followed by a QPR. You wait for 4 minutes at the end of the pressure cooking time and then do a QPR by moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.
