  3. 3.    Program to MEAT for 50 minutes.
  4. 4.    To PREVENT smell, place the Instant Pot under the exhaust fan. Turn on the exhaust fan.
  5. 5.    When the pressure cooking is complete, either use the quick release or let it come to a natural release (around 20 minutes).

Notes

Equipment: Instant Pot rack - I lost mine so I used my silicone roaster and an Instant Pot
*TIP*: I make the ribs the night before and I let them rest in the fridge overnight. The next day, it is easier to manage and will not break apart.
