Tips for Making Ahead and Freezing

Make Ahead Instructions

  • Prepare the recipe as instructed and let the ribs cool.
  • Store the cooked ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Allow the ribs to cool completely before freezing.
  • Place the ribs in a freezer-safe container or bag, removing as much air as possible.

Country-style ribs are not actually ribs but are cut from the blade end of the loin close to the pork shoulder. This cut has more meat and marbling, making it perfect for braising in the Instant Pot.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ:
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the country-style pork ribs with beef ribs or even chicken if you prefer.
How can I adjust the cooking time if I have more or less meat?
If you have more meat, you can increase the cooking time by a few minutes. For less meat, you can slightly reduce the cooking time.
Can I use homemade barbecue sauce instead of store-bought?
Absolutely! Homemade barbecue sauce can add a unique flavor to the dish. Feel free to use your favorite recipe.
Can I skip the chicken broth if I don't have any on hand?
Yes, you can omit the chicken broth if needed. The ribs will still cook well with just the barbecue sauce, but the broth adds extra flavor.
Can I brown the ribs before cooking them in the Instant Pot?
Browning the ribs before pressure cooking can enhance the flavor, but it's not necessary for this recipe. If you have the time, go ahead and sear them for a few minutes on each side.
