Best “Fall off the Bone” Ribs in the Instant Pot
- The Instant Pot makes this recipe so easy to make! Just season it, set it, and forget it!
- Now, two-ingredient ribs can be made in less than an hour, instead of hours in the oven.
- With minimal prep, pork ribs in the Instant Pot are fall-off-the-bone tender and tasty!
- Pork rib tips are always a hit at parties and picnics. Double the recipe and keep them warm in the Instant Pot and guests can help themselves.
Ingredients & Variations
Pork – Also known as pork brisket, boneless pork rib tips are smaller and extra tasty due to their cartilage content. Fresh or frozen tips can also be used. Beef bone-in roast ribs can be used, but be sure they are thawed before using
Seasonings – Buy adobo seasoning or make it and have some extra for future chicken, beef, pork, and fish recipes. Or season them lightly with homemade seasoned salt if desired.
Variations – Slather on a rich and robust BBQ sauce or some honey mustard dressing, anything goes! Cook them in chicken or beef broth instead of water for extra savory and flavorful ribs.
How to Cook Ribs in the Instant Pot
Easy Instant Pot ribs are tender fall-off-the-bone deliciousness!
- Season ribs and place them on a trivet in the Instant Pot with one cup of water.
- Pressure cook on HIGH for 40 minutes. Allow for a natural release.
- Serve with BBQ sauce or grill until lightly charred on both sides before serving.
Tips for Tender Ribs
- Be sure to use a ‘natural release’ to make the ribs extra tender.
- Keep ribs in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 4 days.
- The best and fastest way to reheat ribs is to place them in the microwave until they are heated through again.
- Or, place them under the oven broiler for a few minutes to reheat.

REPIN this Ribs in the Instant Pot Recipe
New to instant pot… wanted a simple guide… Ashley’ helped me kill it first time out! I’ve never used an instant pot until tonight… 16Jan2022. I didn’t have a trivet… didn’t use one… I do have a process for ribs in the oven in water, et cetera, but that takes hours. I just wanted tips, easy… and this did it!
Thank you, Ashley!

Have you put them in the IP frozen before? Additional time needed, if so?
Hi Cora, we have not tried putting the rib tips in frozen before. I would thaw them fully and then follow the recipe as written, if time allows!
Planing on trying shorts tonight.
This is my go-to ri s recipe. I’ve made many times and the entire family loves them – even my 2 boys who are very picky about their meat. It is in regular rotation at our house.
Tried this tonight and it was spot on!!! The ribs fell clean off the bone. Once done, I laid them out on a foil lined baking sheet and slathered them up with some bbq sauce and stuck them under a high broiler for about 10 minutes and perfection!!!
Can you use the crock pot if u don’t have instant pot
Hi Kimberley, we have only tried this recipe as written so I can’t say for sure, let us know if you decide to try it though!
