Coil ribs into a circle and place vertically on top of the riser in the pot. Close the lid, turn the steam release handle to "sealing" position. 4 Select (Pressure cook) program, set the “Pressure Indicator” to “High Pressure” and then manually adjust time to 25 minutes. 5 It will take a few minutes to heat up and seal the vent. When time is up, open the lid by using quick release i.e. turn the steam release handle to "venting" position. 6 Remove the ribs from Instant Pot and place them on a cutting board. Slather both sides with your favorite BBQ sauce. Pre-heat BBQ to 400°F. Caramelize the ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side, watch carefully, so it doesn't burn.
