Instructions
Remove rack of ribs from package and pat dry.
Flip the ribs so that the underside is facing upwards and score through the membrane (in between each bone).
Mix all spices together and generously apply to both sides of the ribs.
Add water and apple cider vinegar to instant pot. Place trivet inside.
Wrap ribs so that the scored side faces outward, and the exposed bones face downward.
Select 'Pressure Cook' and set time for 16-25 minutes*, then select 'Start'.
Once the timer has ended, allow for a Natural Release.
Apply favorite BBQ sauce to top of ribs with brush.
Optional step: Place ribs on baking sheet and put them in the oven on High Broil for about 7 minutes to allow caramelization of BBQ sauce.
Ready to serve!
