\nWhen the weather changes and cooking and grilling tend to move more indoors never fear that you can’t have your favorite homemade ribs.\u00a0 In fact, with our Instant Pot Ribs (IPR) Recipe you can have those famous homemade barbecue ribs anytime you want.\u00a0 With our post and recipe, you’ll be able to get the job done and enjoy those savory or sweet homemade barbecue ribs at your leisure.\u00a0 Follow along with us as we take you through the process.<\/p>\n

It’s always a good idea to get some foundation in place before you build your recipe house.\u00a0 So, let get to some understanding about what an Instant Pot is and what it isn’t.<\/p>\n

Instant Pot is the process of using pressure the make and cook food products.\u00a0 The actual history of Instant Pot or pressurized cooking goes like this.<\/p>\n

The pressure cooking method of cooking in a sealed vessel not permitting steam to escape below a preset pressure.\u00a0 Because the boiling point of water increases as the pressure increases, the pressure built up inside the cooker allows the liquid in the cooking pot to rise to a higher temperature before boiling.<\/p>\n

The pressure cooker was invented by Denis Papin, a French physicist, in 1679.\u00a0 However, it only became a household cooking appliance during World War II when the people realized how much fuel they could save due to much shorter cooking time and the ability to cook cheaper cuts of meat easily.\u00a0 Pressure cooking is often used to simulate the effects of long braising or simmering in shorter periods of time.<\/p>\n

Modern-day Pressure Cookers or Instant Pots are technological marvels in their ability to have time and temperature settings in multiple modes.\u00a0 These units are larger and with multiple inner containers for myriad uses.\u00a0 Instant Pot Cookers can perform the duties of Pressure Cooker, Slow Timed Cooker, Rice Cooker, Yogurt Maker, Cake Batter Maker, Egg Timed Cooker, Saut\u00e9 for meats and vegetables, Steamer, Warmer as well as general Sterilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Now that we know about Instant Pots how exactly do you operate one? We know that cooking food using water or liquid in a sealed vessel produces steam which causes pressure.\u00a0 The containment vessel is specifically designed to withstand the internal pressures created by the increase in steam.\u00a0 The cooker works by trapping the steam produced with the final results being an increase in internal pressure and temperature.\u00a0 After the steam and pressure contain the ingredients forcing the flavors that would normally escape remaining in foods the trapped steam is then allowed to be released slowly so that the vessel can be opened safely.<\/p>\n

How do you use an Instant Pot to make Ribs? Similar to that of a barbecue grill the actual cooking process is about time and temperature.\u00a0 With a barbecue grill, there is usually a third component that comes into play and that can most often be the use of wood smoke in the cooking process.\u00a0 And since an Instant Pot is capable of producing heat and a period of time in a controlled fashion then the meat can be cooked similar to that of a barbecue grill.\u00a0 There is, of course, one exception.\u00a0 Simply put an Instant Pot focuses on the use of steam or moisture to do its job.\u00a0 Contrary to that a barbecue grill uses heat to drive out moisture and in the exchange process that heat when slowly applied for extended works to break down the collagen, fibers, tissues, and fats which in turn makes the meat tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\nAn Instant Pot may make the meat appear somewhat soggy depending on the period in which the meat is cooked.\u00a0 There are ways to offset this additional moisture but requires the addition of a secondary appliance.\u00a0 That appliance is the use of your inside oven or stove.\u00a0 Typically in the case of meats where an externally somewhat dry surface has required the stove or oven is turned to a high range for a short period of time and the meat is broiled to achieve the desired dryness.<\/p>\n

In our Instant Pot IPR recipe, we will make use of both the Instant Pot and your oven.\u00a0 We’ll also make use of foil and a container to aid in controlling the cleanup process.\u00a0 Let’s get started making those ribs.<\/p>\n

As with all rib recipes, one first wants to make sure they have all the necessary ingredients and appliances to get the job done.\u00a0 You’ll need your Instant Pot, Oven, Barbecue Sauce, Dry Rub, and Foil.\u00a0 We’ll provide a recipe for a quick barbecue sauce but for those who plan ahead and want a great gluten-free barbecue sauce we offer our Jake’s Really Good Mild BBQ sauce.\u00a0 If you like the process of creating and adjusting recipes then just follow our quick recipe below.<\/p>\n

Southern Style Smoky BBQ Sauce<\/b><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/p>\n

2 Quarts White Vinegar
2 Cups Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (As an Option 2 Cups White Sugar)
1-1\/2 Cups Ketchup
\u00bd Cup Worcestershire Sauce
\u00bc Cup Hot Sauce
\u00bc Cup Salt
\u00bc Cup Ground Black Pepper
1\/2 Teaspoon Liquid Smoke<\/p>\n

What about smoke in this IPR?<\/p>\n

It’s common knowledge that Pressure Pots or Instant cookers do not impart smoke flavor into ribs.\u00a0 However, we can induce smoke in one of the simplest ways possible.\u00a0 There are a number of liquid smoke products on the market now which make the introduction process simple.\u00a0 Add approximately 1\/2 Teaspoon as the smoke flavor is highly concentrated.\u00a0 This amount of smoke flavor when mixed with recipes that contain no or small amounts of smoke will thoroughly infuse the contents with smoke flavor.\u00a0 Be careful not to overdo the smoke as the meal may become bitter.<\/p>\n

Note, it is not a requirement that you add liquid smoke.\u00a0 Many people prefer the natural taste of the meat without smoke so just prepare the recipe as normal and never think about adding smoke.<\/p>\n

Blend the ingredients until smooth.\u00a0 Place in a cooking pot and cook on medium high for 20 minutes until the sauce begins to boil.\u00a0 Once boiling reduces the heat to simmer and stir for 5 additional minutes.\u00a0 After simmer removes from heat and lets rest for 30 minutes while the flavors mature and meld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\nRibs should be selected on the basis of appearance in that the ribs are not gray or dark in color.\u00a0 Typically ribs should look reddish or somewhat off red in color depending on whether the ribs are cut at the butcher counter or have been thawed after being packed in a frozen state.<\/p>\n

Thereafter the ribs must be thoroughly cleaned and any grit or excess bone chips removed.\u00a0 The white and sometimes silver membrane should be removed although it is not absolutely necessary.\u00a0 The membranes removal aids in the absorption of seasoning and steam in the cooking process.\u00a0 Remove the membrane at room temperature with a paper towel and butter knife used to get under the membrane.<\/p>\n

Season the ribs using either our more than suitable Tri-Tip, Steak and Rib Natural Dry Rub<\/a> or for a little more spiciness use our California Chipotle Rub<\/a> or utilize one of your own dry rubs recipes.\u00a0 We’ve also added a quick dry rub recipe you can make at home with some basic ingredients.\u00a0 See the dry rub recipe below:<\/p>\n
